Extract

The technique of sunny collapsing was introduced by Zeeman in (1) in order to prove the unknotting of PL ball pairs with co-dimension ≥ 3. Since then the technique has been used a number of times. In each case the method was used to prove special cases of the Theorem in this paper. Apart from providing a more unified treatment of various applications of this one technique, the theorem has important applications to the theory of relative regular neighbourhoods.
