Smooth Riemannian isometries #
A smooth Riemannian isometry is a diffeomorphism whose differential preserves the inner product on each tangent space. The inverse and composite are again smooth Riemannian isometries. This is the natural map for transporting the Levi-Civita connection and geodesics.
The pointwise condition says that the pullback of the metric on the target is the metric on the
source; see J. M. Lee, Introduction to Riemannian Manifolds, 2nd ed., Chapter 2. Isometries
preserve tangent-vector norms and the Riemannian length pathELength of every curve.
An infinitely differentiable equivalence that preserves the Riemannian inner product of tangent vectors. Smoothness of the inverse is part of the underlying diffeomorphism.
