Differential Geometry 2025-06-25 v2

Abstract

For any compact Riemannian manifold (V,g)(V,g) and any Lorentzian manifold (W,h)(W,h), we prove that any spacelike embedding f:VWf: V \rightarrow W that is long (gfhg\leq f^{*}h) can be C0C^{0}-approximated by a C1C^{1} isometric embedding F:(V,g)(W,h)F: (V,g) \rightarrow (W,h).
