2022年1月11日 · This is shown in most introductory topology books. For ambient isotopy we need to ensure properties (1) and (2) also hold for each transformation between our two equivalent …
Variants of isotopy extensions - Mathematics Stack Exchange
Looking at the proof, Hirsch does not seem to take the precautions he took in Theorem 1.3 to avoid getting an 'isotopy' that moves the boundary to the interior of the manifold.
Which two knots are isotopic but not ambient isotopic?
2015年6月23日 · Use ambient isotopy, as mentioned by the OP. Although the animation above shows an isotopy of embeddings of a circle into $\mathbb{R}^3$, this doesn't extend to an …
