Nov 29, 2014 at 21:21 comment added Robert Bryant Well, that probably was a bad use of terminology. All I meant to assume was that there is an $\epsilon>0$ such that the map $Z$ that you defined in your question is an injective diffeomorphism on $\Gamma\times (-\epsilon,\epsilon)\subset \Gamma\times\mathbb{R}$. That way, you can be sure that for $t$ sufficiently small, the level sets $\Gamma_t$ are disjoint. I didn't really want to assume anything about the injectivity radius of the induced metric on $\Gamma$.
Nov 29, 2014 at 21:03 comment added Ali Thanks Robert for your nice answer. May I ask you where the assumption about the positive injectivity radius was used?
