| In the [[mathematics|mathematical]] subject of [[topology]], an '''ambient isotopy''', also called an ''h-isotopy'', is a kind of continuous distortion of an "ambient space", a [[manifold]], taking a [[submanifold]] to another submanifold. For example in [[knot theory]], one considers two [[knot (mathematics)|knot]]s the same if one can distort one knot into the other without breaking it. Such a distortion is an example of an ambient isotopy. More precisely, let ''N'' and ''M'' be manifolds and ''g'' and ''h'' be [[embedding]]s of ''N'' in ''M''. A [[continuous map]]

| is defined to be an ambient isotopy taking ''g'' to ''h'' if ''F<sub>0</sub>'' is the [[identity function|identity map]], each map ''F<sub>t</sub>'' is a [[homeomorphism]] from ''M'' to itself, and ''F<sub>1</sub>'' ∘ ''g'' = ''h''. This implies that the [[orientation (geometry)|orientation]] must be preserved by ambient isotopies. For example, two knots which are [[mirror image]]s of each other are in general not equivalent.

Hi there. My title is Garland although it is not the title on my beginning certificate. Climbing is what love doing. Interviewing is how he supports his family members but his marketing never arrives. I've usually loved living in Idaho.
