Part2: Two ambient isotopic curve segments, one has the length and the other does not

85 Views Asked by At

Let me start with an R^2 ambient isotopy J taking a straight line C1 to some C2.

An answer of other question implies that it can happen that you cannot define the length for C2.

[Answer](Two ambient isotopic curve segments, one has the length and the other does not )

Let me add some rules on the question and ask if the similar answer holds.

Let J be some R^2 ambiet isotopy taking the interval [1,2] on the X axis.

J: [0,1] * R^2 -> R^2

J is restricted so that all point will not change its x coordinate.

Then let me ask if it can happen that you can not define the length of J(1,[1,2]) or it has the infinite length.

In detail, I mean that J takes the interval [1,2] on the X axis to J(1,[1,2]).

Thank you in advance.
