Symmetry of isometric embeddings of Riemannian manifolds and local scalar invariants (Q676400)

The authors consider the system of PDE underlying local isometric embeddings of Riemannian manifolds into Euclidean spaces. The subjects are: 1) interrelations between infinitesimal symmetries (Lie-Bäcklund transformations) of the PDE and Killing fields, resp. infinitesimal bendings; 2) interrelations between infinitesimal scalar invariants of the PDE and extrinsic, resp. intrinsic invariants of the isometric embedding.
