Abstract:
The possible values of linking coefficients for two component links are studied. An example of a link ${S^3} \cup {S^2}$ in ${S^5}$ having linking coefficient in ${\pi _3}({S^2})$ of Hopf invariant two is constructed. A generalization to links ${S^{m - 2}} \cup {S^p}$ in ${S^m}$ is obtained in the metastable range. Applications to embeddings of two cell complexes are cited.References
