Abstract

Abstract For ℓ {\ell} a generic n-tuple of positive numbers, N ⁢ ( ℓ ) {N(\ell)} denotes the space of isometry classes of oriented n-gons in ℝ 3 {\mathbb{R}^{3}} with side lengths specified by ℓ {\ell} . We determine the algebra K ⁢ ( N ⁢ ( ℓ ) ) {K(N(\ell))} and use this to obtain nonimmersions of the 2 ⁢ ( n - 3 ) {2(n-3)} -manifold N ⁢ ( ℓ ) {N(\ell)} in Euclidean space for several families of ℓ {\ell} . We also use obstruction theory to tell exactly when N ⁢ ( ℓ ) {N(\ell)} immerses in ℝ 4 ⁢ n - 14 {\mathbb{R}^{4n-14}} for two families of ℓ {\ell} ’s.
