Abstract

Let YY be a smooth compact nn-manifold. We study smooth embeddings and immersions β:MR×Y\beta: M \to \mathbb R \times Y of compact nn-manifolds MM such that β(M)\beta(M) avoids some a priory chosen closed poset Θ\Theta of {\sf tangent patterns} to the fibers of the obvious projection π:R×YY\pi: \mathbb R \times Y \to Y. Then, for a fixed YY, we introduce an equivalence relation between such β\beta's; it is a crossover between pseudo-isotopies and bordisms. We call this relation {\sf quasitopy}. In the study of quasitopies, the spaces PdcΘ\mathcal P_d^{\mathbf c\Theta} of real univariate polynomials of degree dd with real divisors, whose combinatorial patterns avoid a given closed poset Θ\Theta, play the classical role of Grassmanians. We compute the quasitopy classes QTdemb(Y,cΘ)\mathcal{QT}_d^{\mathsf{emb}}(Y, \mathbf c\Theta) of Θ\Theta-constrained embeddings β\beta in terms of homotopy/homology theory of spaces YY and PdcΘ\mathcal P_d^{\mathbf c\Theta}. We prove also that the quasitopies of emeddings stabilize, as dd \to \infty.
