Abstract

We ask for the converse of Gauss’ theorema egregium. Because in general isocurved manifolds are not isometric we ask stronger for isocurved, geodesic equivalent manifolds. For these we give a local criterion from which there follows that two-dimensional manifolds and of that type essentially are isometric, or both are Euclidean with an affine mapping in the ordinary sense.
