The authors construct a \(C^{2,1}\) metric of non negative Gauss curvature. They state the following theorem: There exists a \(C^{2,1}\) metric \(g\) in \(B_{1}\subset \mathbb{R}^{2}\) with Gauss curvature \(K_{g}\geq 0\) such that there is no \(C^{2}\) isometric embedding of \(( B_{r}(0),g) \) in \(\mathbb{R}^{3}\) for any \(r>0.\)
