Global Nash-Kuiper’s theorem to compact manifolds
In this talk, I will present some recent results regarding
isometric embedding. I first review some conclusions on \(C^{1,\theta}\)
isometric immersions and isometric extension and related problem. Then
I will show our global extensions of the celebrated Nash-Kuiper theorem
for \(C^{1,\theta}\) isometric immersions of compact manifolds with
optimal Hölder exponent. In particular for the Weyl problem of
isometrically embedding a convex compact surface in 3-space, we show
that the Nash-Kuiper non-rigidity prevails upto exponent \(\theta<1/5\).
This extends previous results on embedding 2-discs as well as higher
dimensional analogues. The presented results are joint work with my
mentor Prof. Dr. Szekelyhidi in Leipzig University.
