Volume of submanifold as integral of delta-function

Let $M$ be an $n-m$ dimensional sub-manifold of $\mathbf R^n$ defined by the following set of equations: \begin{equation} f_1(\vec x)=0, \\ \vdots \\ f_m(\vec x)=0, \end{equation} (where $\vec x$ are ...

Volume of sub-manifold of $\mathbf R^n$

Let $M$ be an $n-m$ dimensional sub-manifold of $\mathbf R^n$ defined by the following set of polynomial equations: \begin{equation} P_1(\vec x)=0, \\ \vdots \\ P_m(\vec x)=0, \end{equation} (where $\...

Correspondence between Riemannian metrics and Euclidean embeddings

Given a sufficiently smooth manifold M, a Riemannian metric on M induces an isometric embedding into Euclidean space by Nash's theorem, (non-canonically, non-uniquely) an embedding of M into ...
