For K = K 1 . . . K s and a link map f : K m let K = i < j K i × K j , define a map f : K S m - 1 by f ( x , y ) = ( f x - f y ) / | f x - f y | and a (generalized) Massey-Rolfsen invariant α ( f ) π m - 1 ( K ) to be the homotopy class of f . We prove that for a polyhedron K of dimension ≤ m - 2 under certain (weakened metastable) dimension restrictions, α is an onto or a 1 - 1 map from the set of link maps f : K m up to link concordance to π m - 1 ( K ) . If K 1 , . . . , K s are closed highly homologically connected manifolds of dimension p 1 , . . . , p s (in particular, homology spheres), then π m - 1 ( K ) i < j π p i + p j - m + 1 S .

Similarity:

The space B = Imm (S, R) / Diff (S) of all immersions of rotation degree 0 in the plane modulo reparameterizations has homotopy groups π(B ) = Z, π(B ) = Z, and π(B ) = 0 for k ≥ 3.
