Abstract

We prove the following theorem: If K is a 1-complex topologically embedded in S 4 {S^4} , and if K has mapping cylinder neighborhoods in S 4 {S^4} at almost all of its points, then K is tame. The proof uses engulfing and the theory of proper, one-acyclic mappings of 3-manifolds onto the real line.
