Isometric embeddings via heat kernel (Q2343974)

Fix two constants \(\rho >0\) and \(0<\alpha <1\). The main result of the paper is Theorem 1. Let \((M, g)\) be a smooth \(n\)-dimensional compact Riemannian manifold without boundary. Then: 1) For any integer \(l\geq 1\) there exists a canonical family of almost isometric embeddings \(\tilde{\Psi }_t:M\rightarrow l^2\) such that \(\tilde{\Psi }^*_tg_{\mathrm{can}}=g+O(t^l)\) as \(t\rightarrow 0_+\), where the above convergence is in \(C^r\)-norm for any \(r\geq 0\). 2) For any integer \(k\geq 2\) satisfying \(k+\alpha <l+\frac{1}{2}\) there exists a constant \(t_0>0\) depending on \(k, \alpha , l, \rho \) and \(g\) such that for \(0<t\leq t_0\) we can truncate \(\tilde{\Psi }_t\) to \(\mathbb{R}^{q(t)}\subset l^2\) and perturb it to a unique \(C^{k, \alpha }\) isometric embedding \(I_t:M\rightarrow \mathbb{R}^{q(t)}\), where dimension \(q(t)\geq t^{-\frac{n}{2}-\rho }\) or \(q(t)=\infty \), and \(\|I_t-\tilde{\Psi }_t\|_{C^{k, \alpha }(M)}=O(t^{l+\frac{1}{2}-\frac{k+\alpha }{2}})\).
