Abstract
Any germ of a complex analytic space is equipped with two natural metrics: the {\it outer metric} induced by the hermitian metric of the ambient space and the {\it inner metric}, which is the associated riemannian metric on the germ. We show that minimal surface singularities are Lipschitz normally embedded (LNE), i.e., the identity map is a bilipschitz homeomorphism between outer and inner metrics, and that they are the only rational surface singularities with this property.

Comments
This paper is a major revision of the 2015 version. It now builds on the paper arXiv:1806.11240 by the same authors which gives a general characterization of Lipschitz normally embedded surface singularities
