| Mar 9, 2014 at 18:24 | comment | added | John Pardon | What if the foliating family of geodesics doesn't have any pair which share a point on the boundary? | |
| Mar 9, 2014 at 18:23 | comment | added | Misha | Yes, this is impossible, since an isometric embedding preserves arclength of curves. | |
| Mar 9, 2014 at 18:21 | comment | added | Ali Taghavi | Is not possible that the foliating geodesics would be mapped to a familly of half straight line approaching to the (deleted) origion? | |
