Change of variable and diffeomorphic surfaces?

121 Views Asked by At

Suppose two curves $\gamma$ and $\gamma'$ are diffeomorphic.

Is the arc-length measure $ds_\gamma$ absolutely continuous to $ds_\gamma'$ with a positive derivative? ($ds_\gamma=\phi\, ds_\gamma'$ for some $\phi\geq 0$)

Does the similar result hold for diffeomorphic surfaces in $\mathbb{R}^n$?
