Petrunin proves that a metric space $\mathcal{X}$ admits an intrinsic isometry into $\mathbb{E}^n$ if and only if $\mathcal{X}$ is a pro-Euclidean space of rank at most $n$. He then shows that either case implies that $\mathcal{X}$ has…

We investigate harmonic maps in the context of isometric embeddings when the target space is Ricci-flat and has codimension one. With the help of the Campbell-Magaard theorem we show that any $n$-dimensional ($n\geqslant 3$) Lorentzian…

In this paper we investigate the problem of non-analytic embeddings of Lorentzian manifolds in Ricci-flat semi-Riemannian spaces. In order to do this, we first review some relevant results in the area, and then motivate both the…

We investigate a relations of almost isometric embedding and almost isometry between metric spaces and prove that with respect to these relations: (1) There is a countable universal metric space. (2) There may exist fewer than continuum…

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

We extend the results of B. Minemyer by showing that any indefinite metric polyhedron (either compact or not) with the vertex degree bounded from above admits an isometric simplicial embedding into a Minkowski space of the lowest possible…

We study isometric embeddings of a Euclidean space or a Heisenberg group into a higher dimensional Heisenberg group, where both the source and target space are equipped with an arbitrary left-invariant homogeneous distance that is not…

We prove that the isometric embedding of any metric of differentiability class C1 in E3 exists. We use simplified notation for the given metric, namely geodesic parameters, and level parameters for the embedded surface in E3. Central to our…

We prove that for any given integer $c>0$ any metric space on $n$ points may be isometrically embedded into $l_{\infty}^{n-c}$ provided $n$ is large enough.

We show that compact Riemannian manifolds, regarded as metric spaces with their global geodesic distance, cannot contain a number of rigid structures such as (a) arbitrarily large regular simplices or (b) arbitrarily long sequences of…

In this paper we consider piecewise linear (pl) isometric embeddings of Euclidean polyhedra into Euclidean space. A Euclidean polyhedron is just a metric space $\mathcal{P}$ which admits a triangulation $\mathcal{T}$ such that each…

We give a new proof for the local existence of a smooth isometric embedding of a smooth $3$-dimensional Riemannian manifold with nonzero Riemannian curvature tensor into $6$-dimensional Euclidean space. Our proof avoids the sophisticated…

Pulling back complex structures along a branched covering induces a holomorphic isometric embedding of Teichm\"uller spaces. We show that for dimension at least $2$, all isometric embeddings arise from branched coverings. This generalizes a…

We consider the problem of isometric embedding of metric spaces to the Banach spaces; and introduce and study the remarkable class of so-called linearly rigid metric spaces: these are the spaces that admit a unique, up to isometry, linearly…

Frechet's classical isometric embedding argument has evolved to become a major tool in the study of metric spaces. An important example of a Frechet embedding is Bourgain's embedding. The authors have recently shown that for every e>0 any…

A proof of the isometric embedding of a given two-metric in E^3 of class C^1. The method uses the theory of first order partial differential equations. The curvature of the metric plays no role in the proof.

In [The Space of Spaces: Curvature Bounds and Gradient Flows on the Space of Metric Measure Spaces. Memoirs of the American Mathematical Society. American Mathematical Society, 2023], Sturm studied the space of all metric measure spaces up…

We prove that each sub-Riemannian manifold can be embedded in some Euclidean space preserving the length of all the curves in the manifold. The result is an extension of Nash $C^1$ Embedding Theorem. For more general metric spaces the same…

We prove a rigidity theorem that shows that, under many circumstances, quasi-isometric embeddings of equal rank, higher rank symmetric spaces are close to isometric embeddings. We also produce some surprising examples of quasi-isometric…

We characterize those spacetimes which admit a isometric (or conformal) embedding in some Lorentz-Minkowski space L^N. In particular, any globally hyperbolic spacetime can be isometrically embedded in L^N. This is proven by a result of its…
