Venema will continue his research in geometric topology.                The problems to be investigated involve topological embeddings                  into piecewise linear manifolds and cell-like mappings of                       compacta.  Among other things he will investigate the structure                 of neighborhoods of compacta in piecewise linear 4-manifolds and                try to determine whether homotopy-equivalent, locally simply-                   connected compacta are CE equivalent via locally simply-connected               spaces.  The importance of understanding the structure of 4-                    dimensional manifolds is increasingly recognized in theoretical                 physics.  Even higher dimensional manifolds play an essential                   role in the so-called "string theory" of current vogue.
