Abstract

On a smooth manifold $M$ we introduce the concept of Codazzi-equivalent Riemannian metrics. The curvature tensors of two Codazzi-equivalent metrics satisfy a simple relation. The results together with known facts about Codazzi tensors give a method of proof for old and new local and global uniqueness results for Riemannian manifolds and Euclidean hypersurfaces.

Keywords

Codazzi-equivalent Riemannian metrics, Codazzi tensors, hypersurfaces with parallel normals
