Abstract: | In contrast to the situation in 3, where a 2-sphere with double tangent balls at each point must be tamely embedded in 3, there exist wild (n?1)-spheres in n for n>3 with this same geometric property. However, if the sphere Σ is tame moduio a subset X that lies in a polyhedron P that is tame in Σ, the dimension of P is less than n?2, n>4, and Σ has double tangent balls over X, then Σ must be tame in n. Also if the tangent balls extend over P and are pairwise congruent, the dimensional restriction on P can be dropped. Examples are given to support the necessity of the hypotheses of the included theorems. |
