On the Local Isometric Embedding in $R^3$ of Surfaces with Zero Sets of Gaussian Curvature Forming Cusp Domains
We study the problem of isometrically embedding a two-dimensional Riemannian manifold into Euclidean three-space. It is shown that if Gaussian curvature vanishes to finite order and its zero set consists of two smooth curves tangent at a point, then local sufficiently smooth isometric embedding exists.
