Abstract

It is known that the knowledge of the first and second fundamental forms satisfying the theorema egregium of Gauss and the Codazzi-Mainardi identities determines a surface in ℝ3, uniquely up to isometries of ℝ3. It is shown here how this theorem can be deduced from the theorem establishing the determination of a three-dimensional manifold in ℝ3 from the knowledge of a metric tensor whose associated Riemann-Christoffel tensor vanishes. © 2000 Académie des sciences/Éditions scientifiques et médicales Elsevier SAS.
