Abstract
For each composite number , there does not exist a single connected closed -manifold such that any smooth, simply-connected, closed -manifold can be topologically flat embedded into it. There is a single connected closed 5-manifold such that any simply-connected, 4-manifold can be topologically flat embedded into if is either closed and indefinite, or compact and with non-empty boundary.
