| Sep 5, 2010 at 2:57 | comment | added | Anton Petrunin | BTW, the local version of your question is still open. Namely, is it true that any point on a surface has a nbhd which admits a smooth isometric embedding into $\mathbb R^3$? | |

| Sep 4, 2010 at 10:35 | comment | added | Robin Chapman | Certainly one can't embed any compact non-orientable manifold in $\mathbb{R}^3$. It's well-known that one can't embed the hyperbolic plane isometrically in $\mathbb{R}^3$, but I don't know a convenient reference for this off-hand. | |
