Embedding calculus for parallelized manifolds
Abstract
We study a variant of the embedding functor that incorporates homotopical data from the frame bundle of the target manifold . Given a parallelized -manifold and an -manifold equipped with a section of its -frame bundle, we define a modified embedding functor that interpolates between the standard embedding and a reference framing. Using the manifold calculus of functors, we identify the Taylor tower of with a mapping space of right modules over the Fulton-MacPherson operad. We prove a convergence theorem under a codimension condition, establishing a weak equivalence between and its Taylor approximation. Finally, under rationalization, we describe the derived mapping space in terms of a combinatorial hairy graph complex, enabling computational access to the rational homotopy type of the space of embeddings.
