Abstract

Let f be an essential map of Sn-1 into itself (i.e., f is not homotopic to a constant mapping) admitting an extension mapping the closed unit ball B̄n into ℝn. Then, for every interior point y of Bn, there exists a point x in f-1(y) such that the image of no neighborhood of x is contained in a coordinate half space with y on its boundary. Under additional conditions, the image of a neighborhood of x covers a neighborhood of y. Differential versions are valid for quasianalytic functions. These results are motivated by game-theoretic considerations.
