Surfaces contained in a ball

Sufficient conditions, in terms of geometric invariants of the domains, such as volumes, surface areas and curvature integrals of the boundaries of domains, under which one domain can be moved by an …

If a triangle can be displaced without distortion, must the surface have constant curvature?

Already Riemann in his famous "On the Hypotheses Which Lie at the Bases of Geometry" concludes that the spaces of constant curvature are precisely those in which figures can move without distortion. H …
