We shall work in the piecewise-linear category, so that all manifolds and subsets thereof, as well as all maps are assumed to be piecewise-linear. If M is a manifold, denote by #k  M the k-fold connected sum of copies of M and by 2M the double of M, that is the manifold obtained by sewing two copies of M together by the identity map on their boundaries.
