Abstract

Let $P$ be a $p$-dimensional polyhedron and let $Q$ be a PL $q$-manifold without boundary. (Neither is necessarily compact.) The purpose of this paper is to prove that, if $q - p \geqslant 3$, then any topological embedding of $P$ into $Q$ can be pointwise approximated by PL embeddings. The proof of this theorem uses the analogous result for embeddings of one PL manifold into another obtained by Černavskiĭ and Miller.
