Abstract

Given an immersion of a connected, -dimensional manifold without boundary into the Euclidean -dimensional space, the idea of the push-out space of the immersion under the assumption that immersion has flat normal bundle is introduced in [3]. It is known that the push-out space has finitely many path-connected components and each path-connected component can be assigned an integer called the index of the component. In this study, when is compact, we give some new results on the push-out space. Especially it is proved that if the push-out space has a component with index , then the Euler number of is and if the immersion has a co-dimension , then the number of path connected components of the push-out space with index is at most 2.
