Abstract
We prove the developability and regularity of isometric immersions of -dimensional domains into . As a conclusion we show that any such Sobolev isometry can be approximated by smooth isometries in the strong norm, provided the domain is and convex. Both results fail to be true if the Sobolev regularity is weaker than .
