Is there a natural connection on $TM$?

The Sasaki metric gives a natural way to equip $TM$ with a Riemannian metric in case $M$ is already equipped with a Riemanian metric. Question: Let $M$ be manifold equipped with an affine connection …

Must a bending of the cylinder leave the bases planar?

Set $M=\{(\cos(\theta),\sin(\theta),z):\theta\in[0,2\pi],z\in[0,1]\}$. A bending of $M$ is a smooth map $\Gamma:M\times [0,1]\rightarrow \mathbb{R}^3$ such that 1) $\Gamma[M\times\{t\}]$ is a submani …

Must a surjective infinitesmal isometry between simply connected spaces be injective? [duplicate]

Let $f:M\rightarrow N$ be a smooth map between two simply connected Riemannian manifolds of the same dimension. It is also given that for every $x\in M$ we have that $Df|_x:T_xM\rightarrow T_{f(x)}N$ …

What is the status of the smooth version of bellows conjecture

Bellows conjecture for polyhedra was setteled in 1997. How about the smooth version of it, ie bending of closed 2D submanifolds in $\mathbb{R}^3$ while preserving the Riemannian structure/intrinsic ge …
