Abstract
More examples of immersions with one 0-dimensional multiple point are given in three and four space. Given an immersion in four space with one 0-dimensional multiple point, a geometric obstruction to finding an immersion in five space with the same property is given. A series of proposed geometric constructions is given. Completing each of these constructions will lead to further insight to Eccles's theorem and the Kervaire invariant problem.
