Sobolev spaces of isometric immersions of arbitrary dimension and co-dimension

Abstract: We prove the

C^{1}

regularity and developability of

W^{2, p}

isometric immersions of

n

-dimensional flat domains into

{m a t h b b R}^{n + k}

where

p g e m i n 2 k, n

. Another parallel consequence of our methods is a similar regularity and rigidity result for the

W^{2, n}

solutions of the degenerate Monge-Amp`ere equations in

n

dimensions. The analysis also applies to the situations when the degeneracy is extended to

(k + 1) i m e s (k + 1)

minors of the Hessian matrix and the solution is

W^{2, p}

, with

p g e m i n 2 k, n

.
