Totally skew embeddings of manifolds

Differential Geometry 2007-05-23 v1

Abstract

We obtain bounds on the least dimension of an affine space that can contain an nn-dimensional submanifold without any pairs of parallel or intersecting tangent lines at distinct points. This problem is closely related to the generalized vector field problem, non-singular bilinear maps, and the immersion problem for real projective spaces.
