    starting something on isometric immersions

    — mainly I was trying to track down a reference that would clearly state that orthonormal “adapted” or “Darboux” (co)frames (here) always exist locally for an immersion into a Riemannian manifold.

    What I found so far is

    Mastrolia, Rigoli & Setti 2012, p. 33, where this is claimed, but just in passing

    and

    Chen & Giron 2021, Thm. 2.2, where this is stated in the generality of sequences of immersions, which makes it hard to recognize the simple statement behind all the analytic fine-print.

    spelled out of a proof (here) of the existence of local Darboux coframes for an immersion

    added the observation (here) that the defining property of Darboux co-frames is just what (later) in the super-embedding approach to super pp-branes is called the “embedding condition”.

    Thanks for catching this.

    The link was meant to point to here.

    added remark (here) on the terminology “second fundamental form” (which leaves room to be further expanded…)

    diff, v20, current

    added (here) discussion of the second fundamental form in terms of covariant derivatives of and along tangential vectors.

    also added (here) the coordinate expression and the relation to the Laplace operator characterizing harmonic maps.

    added (here) a couple of paragraphs on the “tension field” of a Riemannian immersion, and the statement that its vanishing characterizes harmonic maps
