چکیده
Is there anything interesting left in isometric embeddings after the problem had been solved by John Nash? We do not venture a definite answer, but we outline the boundary of our knowledge and indicate conjectural directions one may pursue further. Our presentation is by no means comprehensive. The terrain of isometric embeddings and the fields surrounding this terrain are vast and craggy with valleys separated by ridges of unreachable mountains; people cultivating their personal gardens in these “valleys” only vaguely aware of what happens away from their domains and the authors of general accounts on isometric embeddings have a limited acquaintance with the original papers. Even the highly cited articles by Nash have been carefully read only by a handful of

On Existence and Uniqueness Theorems for a Geometric Initial Value Problem in Local Isometric Embedding
In this paper a local problem of isometric embedding is studied. Here a sufficiant regular curve the initial curve is complemented to a surface of a prescribed line element an isometric embedding. While the local problem of isometric embedding is already in the focus of scientific research, solutions with a prescribed initial curve have not been considered by any other author this far. Therefor...
متن کاملh-PRINCIPLE AND RIGIDITY FOR C1,α ISOMETRIC EMBEDDINGS
In this paper we study the embedding of Riemannian manifolds in low codimension. The well-known result of Nash and Kuiper [21, 20] says that any short embedding in codimension one can be uniformly approximated by C isometric embeddings. This statement clearly cannot be true for C embeddings in general, due to the classical rigidity in the Weyl problem. In fact Borisov extended the latter to emb...
متن کاملRigidity for local holomorphic isometric embeddings from B n into B N 1 ×
In this article, we study local holomorphic isometric embeddings from Bn into BN1 × · · · × BNm with respect to the normalized Bergman metrics up to conformal factors. Assume that each conformal factor is smooth Nash algebraic. Then each component of the map is a multi-valued holomorphic map between complex Euclidean spaces by the algebraic extension theorem derived along the lines of Mok and M...
متن کاملEnhanced Multilevel Manifold Learning
Two multilevel frameworks for manifold learning algorithms are discussed which are based on an affinity graph whose goal is to sketch the neighborhood of each sample point. One framework is geometric and is suitable for methods aiming to find an isometric or a conformal mapping, such as isometric feature mapping (Isomap) and semidefinite embedding (SDE). The other is algebraic and can be incorp...
متن کاملGeometric Quasi - Isometric Embeddings Into
We show that F has an infinite family of quasi-isometrically embedded subgroups of the form F m × Zn, for integral m, n ≥ 0. These subgroups have simple geometric but more complicated algebraic descriptions We present them to illustrate the intricate geometry of Thompson’s group F as well as the interplay between its standard finite and infinite presentations.
