Isometric Immersions: A historical overview
星期三, 19 二月, 2025 - 17:00
Résumé : 

The problem of isometric embeddings is fundamental in differential geometry. In the 1950s, John Nash provided a complete solution to this problem, marking a significant turning point in the field. In this talk, we delve into the historical context of this problem, highlighting the distinction between the C^1 case and the smooth case. We then detail Nash's revolutionary results, providing insight into their impact and significance in the field. Finally, if time permits, we will explore the h-principle and other flexibility results.
