I found this local isometric immersion from $\mathbb H^{n}$ into $\mathbb R^{2n-1}$, given by Schur (1886) en [Über die Deformation der Räume constanten Riemannschen Krümmungsmaasses][1] as follows, $(1\leq k\leq n-1)$: \begin{align*} x_{2k-1}&=\frac{a^2}{z_n}\cos \frac{z_k}{a}\\ x_{2k}&=\frac{a^2}{z_n}\sin \frac{z_k}{a}\\ x_{2n-1}&=a\int^{z_n}\frac{\sqrt{z_n^2-(n-1)a^2}}{z_n^2}dz_n \end{align*} but i'm trying to prove that 1. Is a local isometric immersion. > Here, taking $\phi:\mathbb H^n\to \mathbb R^{2n-1}$ given by $\phi(z_1,\dots,z_n)=(x_1,\dots,x_{2n-1})$ I imagine that $\phi^*g_{\mathbb R^{2n-1}}=g_{\mathbb H^n}$ which would prove that is a isometric immersion, but the conditions for $x_{2n-1}$ to be well defined make it only a local immersion. 2. It's have a constant curvature $K\equiv -1/a^2$. > This is where I have some problems, would it be a consequence of the above? 3. Any ideas to prove that image $\phi(z_1,\dots,z_n)$ is not a complete surface? I started to see this example as a coincidence but I was thinking a bit about what happens in $\mathbb R^3$: there are $3$ types of smooth surfaces of revolution with negative constant curvature given by $x(u,v)=(f(v)\cos u,f(v)\sin u,g(v))$, this is clear when solving $$K=-\frac{f''(v)}{f(v)}.$$ Is there something similar in $\mathbb R^{2n-1}$, how many surfaces with these characteristics exist? is there a differential equation as in $\mathbb R^3$?
