Degree theory of immersed hypersurfaces /

The authors develop a degree theory for compact immersed hypersurfaces of prescribed K-curvature immersed in a compact, orientable Riemannian manifold, where K is any elliptic curvature function. They apply this theory to count the (algebraic) number of immersed hyperspheres in various cases: where...
