 Flat circular metrics with trivial holonomy

On a connected regular radial interval, trivial holonomy around circular fibres forces the continuous function $f^{\prime }$ to be integer-valued, hence constant. The resulting Riemannian metrics have $f(r)=nr+b$, with $n\in \mathbb{Z}$ and $f>0$ on the interval. Their Gaussian curvature is $-f^{\prime \prime }/f=0$. For $n\ne 0$, $\rho =f/|n|$ and $\theta =|n|\varphi$ give a local isometry to the Euclidean plane; for $n=0$, $r,b\varphi$ give a flat cylindrical chart. The polar developing map is injective on the regular domain when $|n|=1$, and is a multiple covering when $|n|>1$. Trivial holonomy therefore does not imply a global Euclidean chart. The slope is a discrete parameter, not an unrestricted real one.
