What Is the Gauss Embedding Theorem Mentioned in the Video Talk?

Click For Summary
SUMMARY

The discussion centers on the "Gauss embedding theorem" referenced in a video talk, specifically at minute 14. Participants speculate that it relates to standard results in differential geometry but struggle to find concrete references. The mention of Nash embedding theorems suggests a possible connection, indicating that the Gauss embedding theorem may involve concepts of embedding manifolds in Euclidean spaces.

PREREQUISITES
  • Differential geometry fundamentals
  • Understanding of manifold theory
  • Knowledge of embedding theorems, particularly Nash's
  • Familiarity with Euclidean spaces
NEXT STEPS
  • Research the Gauss embedding theorem in differential geometry
  • Study Nash embedding theorems and their implications
  • Explore the relationship between manifolds and Euclidean spaces
  • Review video talks or lectures on advanced differential geometry
USEFUL FOR

Mathematicians, students of differential geometry, and anyone interested in advanced concepts of manifold theory and embeddings.

Does anybody know to which "Gauss embedding theorem" the speaker in this video talk at minute 14 (point 5. in the displayed notes) is refering too? Sounds to be a standard result in differential geometry, but after detailed googling I found nothing to which the speaker may refering too in the linked video. Any ideas?
