Abstract

The $n$-skeleton of the canonical cubulation $\cal C$ of $\mathbb{R}^{n+2}$ into unit cubes is called the {\it canonical scaffolding} ${\cal{S}}$. In this paper, we prove that any smooth, compact, closed, $n$-dimensional submanifold of $\mathbb{R}^{n+2}$ with trivial normal bundle can be continuously isotoped by an ambient isotopy to a cubic submanifold contained in ${\cal{S}}$. In particular, any smooth knot $\mathbb{S}^{n}\hookrightarrow\mathbb{R}^{n+2}$ can be continuously isotoped to a knot contained in ${\cal{S}}$.<br />Comment: In this revised version we include more detailed, complete and self-contained proofs of our theorems
