Abstract:

It is shown that two “tamely” embedded compacta of dimension $\leq k$ lying in ${E^n}(n \geq 2k + 2)$ have the same (Borsuk) shape if and only if their complements are homeomorphic. In particular, two k-dimensional closed submanifolds of ${E^{2k + 2}}$ have the same homotopy type if and only if their complements are homeomorphic.
