Three applications of delooping to H-principles

Algebraic Topology 2018-10-09 v2 Geometric Topology

Abstract

In this paper we give three applications of a method to prove h-principles on closed manifolds. Under weaker conditions this method proves a homological h-principle, under stronger conditions it proves a homotopical one. The three applications are as follows: a homotopical version of Vassiliev's h-principle, the contractibility of the space of framed functions, and a version of Mather-Thurston theory.
