Let E be an oriented, smooth and closed m-dimensional manifold with m ≥ 2 and V ⊂ E an oriented, connected, smooth and closed (m-2)-dimensional submanifold which is homologous to zero in E. Let S n - 2 S be the standard inclusion, where Sⁿ is the n-sphere and n ≥ 3. We prove the following extension result: if h : V S n - 2 is a smooth map, then h extends to a smooth map g: E → Sⁿ transverse to S n - 2 and with g - 1 ( S n - 2 ) = V . Using this result, we give a new and simpler proof of a theorem of Carlos Biasi related to the ambiental bordism question, which asks whether, given a smooth closed n-dimensional manifold E and a smooth closed m-dimensional submanifold V ⊂ E, one can find a compact smooth (m+1)-dimensional submanifold W ⊂ E such that the boundary of W is V.

Let $S^{n-2} ⊂ Sⁿ$ be the standard inclusion, where Sⁿ is the n-sphere and n ≥ 3. We prove the following extension result: if $h: V → S^{n-2}$ is a smooth map, then h extends to a smooth map g: E → Sⁿ transverse to $S^{n-2}$ and with $g^{-1}(S^{n-2}) = V$. Using this result, we give a new and simpler proof of a theorem of Carlos Biasi related to the ambiental bordism question, which asks whether, given a smooth closed n-dimensional manifold E and a smooth closed m-dimensional submanifold V ⊂ E, one can find a compact smooth (m+1)-dimensional submanifold W ⊂ E such that the boundary of W is V.
