Abstract

For p ≠ 3, 7, p > l, link homotopy classes of link maps S2p ∪ S2p → S3p+1 are classified using the α-invariant. It is shown that any such link map is link homotopic to an embedded link. These results are obtained through a study of the homotopy type of the complement of the image of a map from one sphere to another.
