A triple-point Whitney trick

Abstract: We use a triple-point version of the Whitney trick to show that ornaments of three orientable $(2k-1)$-manifolds in $mathbb{R}^{3k-1}$, $k>2$, are classified by the $mu$-invariant. A very similar (but not identical) construction was found independently by I. Mabillard and U. Wagner, who also made it work in a much more general situation and obtained impressive applications. The present note is, by contrast, focused on a minimal working case of the construction.
