Abstract

For an evolution of metrics (M,gt)(M,g_{t}) there is a t-smooth family of embeddings et:MRNe_{t}:M\to\mathbb{R}^{N} inducing gtg_{t}, but in general there is no family of embeddings extending a given initial embedding e0e_{0}. We give an example of this phenomenon when gtg_{t} is the evolution of g0g_{0} under the Ricci flow. We show that there are embeddings e0e_{0} inducing g0g_{0} which do not admit of t-smooth extensions to ete_{t} inducing gtg_{t} for any t>0. We also find hypersurfaces of dim>2 that will not remain a hypersurface under Ricci flow for any positive time.
