The compression theorem II: directed embeddings

Colin Rourke, Brian Sanderson

Abstract. This is the second of three papers about the Compression Theorem. We give proofs of Gromov's theorem on directed embeddings [M Gromov, Partial differential relations, Springer-Verlag (1986); 2.4.5 C'] and of the Normal Deformation Theorem [The compression theorem I; 4.7].

Keywords. Compression, flattening, directed embedding, ripple lemma
