Abstract
Define the complete –complex on vertices, , to be the –skeleton of an –simplex. We show that embeddings of sufficiently large complete –complexes in necessarily exhibit complicated linking behaviour, thereby extending known results on embeddings of large complete graphs in (the case ) to higher dimensions. In particular, we prove the existence of links of the following types: –component links, with the linking pattern of a chain, necklace or keyring; –component links with linking number at least in absolute value; and –component links with linking number a nonzero multiple of a given integer . For fixed the number of vertices required for each of our results grows at most polynomially with respect to the parameter , or .
