1 ON SIMPLEXES INSCRIBED IN A HYPERSURFACE M. L. Gromov UDC The sufficient conditions are obtained for the existence, on a hypersurface M c R n, of k points whose convex hull forms a (k- D-dimensional simplex, homothetic to a given simplex A c R n. In particular, it is shown that if M is a smooth hypersurface, homeomorphic to a sphere, such points will exist for any simplex A c R n. The proofs are based on simple topological considerations. There are six references. w i. Introduction Let A c R n be a rectilinear m-dimensional simplex with vertices 50, m, and q a real number. We shall say that a simplex A can be q-inscribed in a set A c R n if there exists a vector y E R n such that q5 i + y E A for i = 0, 1... m. We shall say that a simplex A can be q-immersed in a closed region c R n if for any nonnegative continuous function f(w}, assigned in the region ~2 and vanishing on its boundary, there exists a vector y E R n such that q~i +Y ~ ~2 for i = 0, 1,... m and / (qs0 + y) =! (q81 + y)... I (q~ + y), or, what amounts to the same, the simplex A c R n c R n+l can be q-inscribed in a graph P c R TM of the function f(w}. THEOREM 1. Let ~ c R n be a closed bounded region such that its boundary M is a Cl-submanifold of the space R n and its Euler characteristic X(~) is nonzero. Let A c R n be a rectilinear simplex. Then: a) there exists a positive q such that the simplex A can be q-inscribed in M; b) there exists a positive p such that for any positive q < p the simplex A can be q-immersed in the region ~. If V c R n is a convex body with boundary W and v E W, we shall denote by s(v; V) the (closed) subset of the unit sphere S n-1 c R n that corresponds to the point v under a spherical mapping (see [117 of the hypersurface W. The boundary M of a convex body ~2 is said to be smooth with respect to an n-dimensional simplex A c R n if for any point w E M there exists a vertex 6 i of A such that s(w; ~) n s(6i; A) = 4) (let us note that if the boundary M is smooth with respect to every n-dimensional simplex A C R n, then M will be a C~-sub - manifold of the space R n }. THEOREM 2. Let ~2 c R n be a bounded convex region with boundary M that is smooth with respect to an n-dimensional simplex A c R n. Then: a) there exists a positive q such that the simplex A can be q-inscribed in M; b) there exists a positive p such that for any positive q < p the simplex A can be q-immersed in ~2. The proof of Theorem 1 is based on simple and well-known topological results, set forth in w 2. Theorem 2 will be derived from Theorem 1 in w 4. In the remarks at the end of the paper we shall discuss (without proof) the uniqueness of an inscribed simplex and the importance of the restrictions involved in the conditions of Theorems 1 and 2. In the following we shall denote by M + ~, where M c R n and ~E R n, the subset obtained from M by a shift by the vector ~. Leningrad Zhdanov State University.

2 w 2. Topological Lemmas LEMMA 1. Let an oriented Cl-submanifold M c R n be the boundary (with allowance for the orientation) of a bounded closed region f2 c R n whose orientation is induced from the space R n. Let t(m) be the absolute value of the degree of the tangential mapping 7 : M --* S n-l, where S n-1 c R n is the unit sphere. Then The proof of formula (1) can be found in Hopf's paper [4] (see also [6]). t (M) = IX (~)1. (1) Remark 1. If n is odd, formula (1) will be equivalent to another well-known formula of Hopf: (see [31). t t (M) =-~ IX (M)I Let Z0, Zt... Z k be integral cycles of the space R n such that the intersection of their supports is empty and dim Zo -{- dim Z 1 -t-... q- dim Z k ~ nk -- t. Let us consider webs H i, i = 0, 1... k, spanned over the cycles Z i in the half-space R n+l = R+ x R n D 0 R n = R n (R+ being a positive ray). In [5] we can find the definition of the index of intersection i(ii 0, 171,... II k) of webs H i, this index being independent of the choice of the webs. Definition 1. The index of intersection i(110, , II k) is called the linking coefficient k(z0, Z 1... Z k) of the cycles Z0, Zt... Zk. The various definitions of the linking coefficient and the proof of their equivalence for the case of two cycles can be found in [2]. The analysis for a larger number of cycles is entirely similar. In Lemmas 2 and 3 we present without proof the properties of the linking coefficient to be used by us below. The proof of these lemmas is based on the standard use of the properties of the index of intersection [5]~ LEMMA 2. By Z~ c R kn let us denote the image of the cycle Z 0 c R n for a diagonal immersion and by ~ c Rim we shall denote the cycle R ~ --> R '~ X R" X... X R '~, v k times Then Z1 X Z~ X I I I X Z~ ~ R~ X ~X i i I X R~I Ik (Z;, ~)1 = I k (Z,, Zl..., Zk)l, where k(z~, ~) is the linking coefficient of the cycles Z~ and ~ in the space R Ira. LEMMA 3. Let M m and N n be closed oriented C2-submanifolds of the space Rm+n+l. By U~ we shall denote a tubular neighborhood of N n. Let M m be contained in the set U[,/\N n. We shall assume that U~ = N n D m+l (D~ TM is a sphere of radius e), and denote by p: V~q -- D m+l the projection onto the com- ponent of the direct product. Let us consider the restriction PM: Mm ~ Dm+t of the projection p. Under the mapping PM the image Mp of the manifold M m does not intersect with the center of the sphere D m+l, so that it is possible to project the image Mp onto the boundary S m of the sphere D m+l from its center. 0 : M m ~ S~ n be a mapping constructed in this way. Then the degree of the mapping 0 will be equal to the linking coefficient of the cycles, determined by the submanifolds M m and N n c R m+n+t. Let M be a closed oriented (n- D-dimensional Cl-submanifold of the space R n, and let E = (61... en) be a basis in R n. By Mbi (b real) we shall denote the submanifolds M + b~i, where i = 1, 2... n. By Let 53
3 a(m; E) we shall denote the largest number b such that for any positive c < b wehave M N Mc, 1 N... f~ Mc, n = r If such a large number does not exist, we shall write a(m; E) = ~o. It is clear that for a sufficiently small positive b the intersection M N Mb, t f]... N Mb, n willbe empty, and therefore a(m; E) > 0. Definition 2. The self-linking coefficient ~(M) of a submanifold M c R n is defined as the absolute value of the linking coefficient of cycles, determined (oriented!) by the submanifolds M, Mb, 1... Mb, n, where 0 < b < a(ni; E). It is clear that the quantity ~(M) depends neither on the choice of the basis E, nor on the choice of a positive b < a(m; E), so that the definition is correct. Proposition 1. The self-linking coefficient ~<(Yl) is equal to the absolute value t (M) of the degree of the tangential mapping T : M -- S n-1. Proof; Without loss of generality it can be assumed that the submainfold M has smoothness of class C 2, and that the basis E is formed by orthogonal unit vectors ep e2... en. Let us denote by M* c R n2 the image of the manifold M c R n in the case of a diagonal immersion and by N c R n2 the direct product R" R" 215,~ times M xm:<... ~ R'~xR~'x... '~ n times n times By $6R" x... x R" I r n d~les we shall denote a vector with components (el, ez... en), where ei E R n. Let us consider a tubular neighborhood U~q of the submanifold N c R n2. By selecting the direction of of the normal of the submanifold M c R n, we specify the decomposition U~q = N D n and the projection p : U~q -- D~. Let us denote by M~ c R n2 the submanifold M* + b~ and assume the positive number b to be so small that the inclusion t~* "b c "~N TTe holds. Since the intersection M b N N is empty, it is possible to con- struct the mapping 0 : M~ --- Se n-i, considered in Lemma 3. It follows from Lemmas 2 and 3 that deg (8) coincides in absolute value with the self-linking coefficient n(m). Let us denote by ~'(m) E R n the vector of the unit normal to the manifold M at the point m E M and consider the vectors Yl(m) = (F(m), ), F2(m) = (-6, ~(m), )... Fn(m) = ( , ~ (m)) in the space R n2 = R n x R n x... x R n. The vectors Yl(m), ~(m)... ~n(m) form a basis of the space of normals of the manifold N at the point (m, m,... m) where me McRn. Let us consider mapping 0': M---S n+l, defined as follows: To each point me YI we assign a set of scalar products (~, s (~, e~2(m))... (~, SUn(m)). For small positive b the mapping O: Mt~ --- S~ -1 is close to the mapping 0': M --- S~ -1 (let us note that the manifolds M and M~ are canonically diffeomorphic). But since (e, evi(m)) = e(e i, v(m)), it follows that the mapping 0 ' coincides in fact (when the spheres S n-1 and S n-1 are set identical) with the tangential mapping q': NI ---S n-1 Hence which proves the proposition. ]deg(~) [= [deg(o" ]-- Ideg(O) I~g(M), COROLLARY. Let M c R n be a closed oriented (n- 1)-dimensional Ci-submanifold, and let t(m) ~ 0. Let E be a basis of the space R n. Then: 54
4 a) a(m; E) < ~; b) if 0 < b < a(m; E), then the intersection II N 1] 1 N... NII n of arbitrary webs, spanned in the space R n+t over the manifolds M, Mb, 1... Mb, n, will not be empty. Proof. If the intersection of some webs If, II 1... II n, spanned in the space R+ n+l over the manifolds M, Mb, 1... Mb, n, is empty for 0 < b < a(m; E), then the self-linking coefficient ~(M) will be equal to zero; but in this case t(m) = 0, which proves Assertion (b). d(m) For a sufficiently large number b (we must take b > max ~, where d(m) denotes the diameter of the set M and the e, i = 1, 2... n, are vectors forming the basis E) there exist nonintersecting webs (for example, conicai), spanned in R n+l over the manifolds M, Mb, 1... Mb, n. But since the definition of the number ~(M) does not depend on the choice of a positive b < a(m; E), we would obtain for a(m; E) = the relation ~(M) = 0, and hence t(m) = 0, which proves Assertion (a). w 3. Proof of Theorem 1. Without loss of generality it can be assumed that the simplex & c R n is n-dimensional. In the space R n let us consider a basis E, formed by the vectors ~l = 50-52, ~2 = ~n = 60 -Sn. Let us write q = a(m; E). From the corollary of Proposition 1 and Lemma 1 it follows that 0 < q < ~. From the definition of the number a(m; E) it follows that the intersection M N Mq, 1 N... N Mq, n is not empty. Let m E M N Mq, IN...NMq, n. Thenm, m-qel... m-q~n EM. Let us writey=m-qs0. Thenq50+y=mEMand q6 i + y = m -qei E M for i = 1, 2... n, which proves Assertion (a). Let us denote by F, rq, 1... rq, n c R~+Ithe graphs of the functions f(x), f(x -qel)... f(x -qen), defined in the regions ~2, ~2 + q ~2 + qen. The graph Fq, i can be regarded as a web, spanned over the manifold Mq, i. By virtue of the corollary of Proposition 1 and of Lemma 1, the intersection F N Fq, 1 N... N Fq, n is not empty for 0 < q < a(m; E). By reasoning in the same way as above, we can see that for 0 < q < a(m; E) the simplex A c R n cr~ +l c R n+l can be q-inscribed in the graph F c R n+l c R n+l, which completes the proof of Theorem 1. Remark 2. In Assertion (b) of Theorem 1 we can take as the number p the smallest positive number q such that the simplex A can be q-inscribed in the manifold M. w 4. Proof of Theorem 2. At first we shall formulate a simple geometrical proposition: LEMMA 4. Let ~ c R n be a closed bounded convex region with a boundary M that is smooth with respect to a simplex ~ c R n with vertices 60, n. Let ~21D f12 ~... D~2k D... be a sequence of regions co with Ct-smooth boundaries M k such that k~ l~2k = ~2. Let qk > 0, k = 1, 2... be a sequence of numbers such that the simplex A can be qk-inscribed in the set M k for k = 1, 2... Then lira infq k > 0. k~ Proof. By A k we shall denote a simplex with vertices of the form 5 k = qks0 + Yk... 5k = qk6n + Yk such that 5k... 5 k E M k. It is clear that the spherical images of the boundaries of the simplexes A, A l... Ak..~ coincide. If lim infqk = 0, there would exist a subsequenee ~2kl, ~k2... ~2kj,... with the following k~ properties: 1) there exist limits/0 =.lim 5kj... /n = lim 5kJ, such that lo=l 1 =... =ln E M; j --.oo j --*co 2) there exist limits a0 =.lira ski,..., an =.lira skj, where we denoted by si k (i = 0, 1... n; k = 1, 2, j --+~...) the unique point of which the set s(sk, ~k). j --.oo On the one hand, ai E s(si, A) for 0 --i -< n + 1, and on the other hand u0, al... an E s(/0, ~2) = s(/1, ~2) =... = S(/n, ~2), so that at the point l o =l I =... l n E M the smoothness of the boundary M of ~2 with respect to the simplex A is disturbed, which completes the proof of Lemma 4. 55
5 Proof of Theorem 2. For the region ~ we shall construct a sequence of regions ~l, ~22... with 0o smooth boundaries M 1, M 2... such that kn l~k = ~. Since = 1, it follows from Assertion (a) of Theorem 1 that there exists a sequence of numbers qk > 0 and vectors Yk E Rn(1 -< k < ~o) such that qksi + Yk E Mk(0 _< i - n). There evidently exists a subsequence ~kl, ~k2... such that there exist the limits q = lim qk: and y = limyk.. Since + E M(0 < i < n) and q is positive by Lemma 4, we thus proved j-*~ J j~r J qsi Y - - Assertion (a). Let us continue the function f(w) by a zero to the region ~k D ~. By applying Assertion (b) of Theorem 1 to each region ~k and going over to the limit in the same way as in the proof of Assertion (a), we obtain by virtue of Remark 2 and Lemma 4 the Assertion (b) of Theorem 2. w 5. Remarks, If n is odd, then for a region ~ c R n with a smooth boundary M the condition X(~ ) ~ 0 will be equivalent by virtue of Remark 1 to the condition ~ 0; hence, the fulfillment of this condition wiu depend only on the manifold M, and not on its manner of immersion in the space R n. If O T is the complement of the region ~ in the sphere S n, we have for even n the following evident formula: ) + T) = 2; this formula shows that in general the fulfiument of the condition ) = 0 depends on the manner of immersion of the manifold M in the space R n for even n. This question is examined in more detail in [6]. The condition ~ 0 in Theorem 1 is essential. The corresponding examples for Assertion (a) can be constructed beginning with n = 3, and for Assertion (b) beginning with n = 2. The nsmoothness M conditions in Theorem 2 are essential; moreover, ii for any n-dimensional simplex A C R n there exists a positive q such that the simplex A can be q-inscribed (q-immersed) in M (in ~), then the boundary M will be Cl-smooth. If M c R n is a smooth or convex closed hypersurface and if for any n-dimensional simplex A C R n and any positive number q there exists not more than one vector y E R n such that q5 i + y E M for i = 0, 1,... n, then for n > 2 the hypersurface M wiu be an ellipsoid. L. A. Slutsman has reported that if M c R z is a strictly convex closed smooth curve, then there exist for any triangle A ~ R 2 a unique positive number q and unique vector y E R 2 such that q5 i + y E M for i = 0, 1, 2. Using this fact, Slutsman proposed an elementary proof of Assertion (a) of Theorem 1 for the case of a convex region ~ ~ R 3. 1o LITERATURE CITED A. D.
