Abstract

I will first discuss and present a proof of the following statement. Let m>1. Any W2,m isometric immersion from a domain Rm into Rm+1 is C1 regular inside the domain. I will proceed to dicuss some open problems. In particular strategies and obstacles in generalizing this result to isometric immersions of any codimension will be discussed.
