Local Isometric Embedding of Surfaces in 3-dimensional Euclidean Spaces
Tuesday, March 3, 2009
11 AM - Noon, 646 PGH
Abstract
It is a classical question whether a 2-dimensional Riemannian manifold
admits a local isometric embedding in 3-dimensional Euclidean spaces. The
question was raised by Schlaefli in 1873. Solutions are known only for special
cases when Gauss curvature possesses some stability condition. In this talk, we
will discuss this question and present some new results.
