Talk:Immersed submanifold

Injective?
All the references I've checked define an immersed submanifold to be the image of an injective immersion (i.e. no self-intersections). Are there any references for the looser definition given here? -- Fropuff 07:21, 11 November 2006 (UTC)

Redirect
Well I've now written a proper article on submanifolds which includes a discussion of immersed submanifolds (which I've defined to be the image of an injective immersion). I propose we redirect this page there. However, I would still like an answer to my question above. -- Fropuff 05:25, 12 November 2006 (UTC)
