Directed immersions of closed manifolds

Abstract

Given any finite subset X of the sphere Sn, n>1, which includes no pairs of antipodal points, we explicitly construct smoothly immersed closed orientable hypersurfaces in Euclidean space Rn+1 whose Gauss map misses X. In particular, this answers a question of M. Gromov.
