Can a manifold be triangulated with minimal surfaces

It is a fact stated as an exercise in chapter 9 of Lee's book "Riemannian Geometry" that any compact 2D manifold can be triangulated by geodesic triangles. Can one triangulate any compact Riemannian m …

Example of non homogenous manifold with a finitely generated algebra of natural functions

Let $(M,g)$ be a Riemannian manifold. Let $C^{\infty}_{Nat}(M,g)$ be the $\mathbb{R}$-algebra of scalar invariants of the curvature tensor and all its higher covariant derivatives. An example of a mem …

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 …
