We work in the smooth category. Let N be a closed connected orientable 4-manifold with torsion free H 1 , where H q := H q (N ; Z). The main result is a complete readily calculable classification of embeddings N → R 7 , up to equivalence which is isotopy and embedded connected sum with embeddings S 4 → R 7 . Such a classification was earlier known only for H 1 = 0 by Boéchat-Haefliger-Hudson 1970. Our classification involves Boéchat-Haefliger invariant κ(f ) ∈ H 2 , Seifert bilinear form λ(f ) : H 3 × H 3 → Z and β-invariant assuming values in the quotient of H 1 defined by values of κ(f ) and λ(f ).In particular, for N = S 1 × S 3 we define geometrically a 1-1 correspondence between the set of equivalence classes of embeddings and an explicitly defined quotient of Z ⊕ Z.Our proof is based on Kreck modified surgery approach, and also uses parametric connected sum.2 This is proved analogously to the case X = D 0 + of [Sk15, Standardization Lemma 2.1.b], cf. [Sk15, Remark 2.3.a], because the construction of # has an analogue for isotopy.
