Enumerating embeddings of n-manifolds in Euclidean (2n-1)-space
It was shown by \textit{W. S. Massey} and \textit{F. P. Peterson} [Bol. Soc. Mat. Mex., II. Ser. 8, 1-13 (1963; Zbl 0121.180)] that every n-manifold \((n>4)\) embeds into \({\mathbb{R}}^{2n-1}\) unless M is non-orientable and n a power of 2. An enumeration of all embeddings of M in codimension n-1 up to isotopy has been given by \textit{A. Haeflinger} for \(H_ 1(M)=0\) [Sém. Bourbaki 15 (1962/63), No.245 (1964; Zbl 0127.137)]. If \(H_ 1(M)\neq 0\), calculations become much more involved. The author achieves an enumeration for an orientable or evendimensional manifold M in terms of \(H^ i(M;{\mathbb{Z}})\), n-3\(\leq i\leq n\), the action of \(Sq^ 2\) on \(H^ i(M;{\mathbb{Z}}/2)\) for n-3\(\leq i\leq n-2\) and the action of \(w_ 1(M)\) on \(H^{n-2}(M;{\mathbb{Z}}/2)\) for the \(n\equiv 2 mod 4\). An explicit calculation is given for Dold manifolds. The applied technique is a refinement of the methods developed in \textit{A. Haefliger} [Am. J. Math. 83, 57-70 (1961; Zbl 0096.379)] and \textit{E. Thomas} [Osaka J. Math. 13, 163-186 (1976; Zbl 0328.57009)].
