Extract

In 1979 at the Siegen Topology conference Peter Eccles in his lecture asked and in most cases answered the following

Question. For which values of n does an immersion of a closed n-dimensional manifold into Rn+1 exist with a single (n + 1)-tuple point?

The answer (see [3–5, 8]) implies the following:

Proposition (Eccles). No immersion of an even dimensional orientable manifold Mn into Rn+1 has a single (n + l)-tuple point.
