Jan 17, 2021 at 3:58 comment added Deane Yang See math.stackexchange.com/questions/3986936/… for another answer by me.
Jan 17, 2021 at 3:55 comment added Anton Petrunin @MoisheKohan a Morse-type argument does it.
Jan 17, 2021 at 3:39 comment added Moishe Kohan This is is same proof as Deane's argument and is similarly incomplete. You have to argue that $i$ is 1-1 (it would suffice to prove injectivity in the boundary). This is not har though. You can use the fact that the teardrop orbifold does not admit a spherical structure.
Jan 16, 2021 at 20:22 comment added Deane Yang The existence of an isometric immersion of $D$ into $\mathbb{S}^2$ follows, for example, by Bonnet's Theorem, which is stated and proved in Do Carmo's book, Differential geometry of curves and surfaces.
Jan 16, 2021 at 19:59 comment added Deane Yang I think this and the original question really belong in MSE. I’ve posted a different answer to the original question there.
Jan 16, 2021 at 18:09 comment added Eduardo Longa @AntonPetrunin why does $\iota:D \to \mathbb{S}^2$ exist?

Jan 16, 2021 at 4:25 comment added Deane Yang @AntonPetrunin, I presume that in the second paragraph, $f(\partial D)$ should be $\iota(\partial D)$. And is saying that it has constant curvature enough? Don't you have to show that the torsion is zero?
Jan 16, 2021 at 3:28 comment added Anton Petrunin Any reasonable function, say with one maximum and one minimum on the boundary.
Jan 16, 2021 at 3:26 comment added Eduardo Longa What is $f$ here?
