Abstract

We prove that every proper nn-dimensional length metric space admits an "approximate isometric embedding" into Lorentzian space R3n+6,1\mathbb{R}^{3n+6,1}. By an "approximate isometric embedding" we mean an embedding which preserves the energy functional on a prescribed set of geodesics connecting a dense set of points.
