Abstract

We prove uniqueness of smooth isometric immersions within the class of negatively curved corrugated two-dimensional immersions embedded into R3\mathbb{R}^3. The main tool we use is the relative entropy method employed in the setting of differential geometry for the Gauss-Codazzi system. The result allows us to compare also two solutions to the Gauss-Codazzi system that correspond to a smooth and a C1,1C^{1,1} isometric immersion of not necessarily the same metric and prove continuous dependence of their second fundamental forms in terms of the metric and initial data in L2L^2.
