Stability analysis of isometric embeddings

Abstract

In this work we prove the fact that, for a short time, it is possible to construct a smooth parametrized family of isometric embeddings of an arbitrary smooth parametrized family of Riemannian metrics on a smooth closed manifold into an Euclidean space. In order to prove this statement we work out stability estimates within Matthias G\"unther's local perturbation method to derive a time-dependent local perturbation method around a free isometric embedding. Iteratively, we use this time-dependent local perturbation method to construct the desired family of isometric embeddings.
