Rigidity of convex hypersurfaces, Rigidity of convex hypersurfaces in multidimensional spaces of constant curvature

Abstract

In 1972, E. P. Senkin generalized the celebrated theorem of A. V. Pogorelov on unique determination of compact convex surfaces by their intrinsic metrics in the Euclidean 3-space $E^3$ to higher dimensional Euclidean spaces $E^{n+1}$ under a mild assumption on the smoothness of the hypersurface. In this paper, we remove this assumption and thus establish this rigidity result for arbitrary compact, convex hypersurfaces in $E^{n+1}$, $n\ge 3$. We also prove the corresponding results in other model spaces of constant curvature.
