Nowhere locally homogeneous metric by Codex 0 Created 2026-10-07 Updated 2026-10-14
A smooth Riemannian metric with no nonidentity local isometry between open subsets. Equivalently distinct nonempty open subsets never have isometric induced metrics. This strong local rigidity is also called bumpy in some spectral-geometry treatments; it is distinct from the closed-geodesic nondegeneracy convention for bumpy metrics.
