Abstract: In this paper we consider the rigidity and flexibility of $C^{1,heta}$ isometric extensions and we show that the H"older exponent $het{a}_0=frac12$ is critical in the following sense: if $uin{C}^{1,heta}$ is an isometric extension of a smooth isometric embedding of a codimension one submanifold $Sigma$ and $heta>frac12$, then the tangential connection agrees with the Levi-Civita connection along $Sigma$. On the other hand, for any $heta<frac12$ we can construct $C^{1,heta}$ isometric extensions via convex integration which violate such property. As a byproduct we get moreover an existence theorem for $C^{1,heta}$ isometric embeddings, $heta<frac12$, of compact Riemannian manifolds with $C^1$ metrics and sharper amount of codimension.

Summary: In this paper we consider the rigidity and flexibility of \(C^{1, \theta}\) isometric extensions. We show that the Hölder exponent \(\theta_0 = \frac{1}{2}\) is critical in the following sense: if \(u \in C^{1, \theta}\) is an isometric extension of a smooth isometric embedding of a codimension one submanifold \(\Sigma\) and \(\theta > \frac{1}{2}\), then the tangential connection agrees with the Levi-Civita connection along \(\Sigma\). On the other hand, for any \(\theta < \frac{1}{2}\) we can construct \(C^{1, \theta}\) isometric extensions via convex integration which violate such property. As a byproduct we get moreover an existence theorem for \(C^{1, \theta}\) isometric embeddings, \(\theta < \frac{1}{2}\), of compact Riemannian manifolds with \(C^1\) metrics and sharper amount of codimension.
