In higher dimension, as follows from the [[Whitney embedding theorem]], the Nash–Kuiper theorem shows that any closed {{mvar|m}}-dimensional Riemannian manifold admits an continuously differentiable isometric embedding into an ''arbitrarily small neighborhood'' in {{math|2''m''}}-dimensional Euclidean space. Although Whitney's theorem also applies to noncompact manifolds, such embeddings cannot simply be scaled by a small constant so as to become short. Nash proved that every {{mvar|m}}-dimensional Riemannian manifold admits a continuously differentiable isometric embedding into {{math|ℝ<sup>2''m'' + 1</sup>}}.{{sfnm|1a1=Nash|1y=1954|1pp=394–395}}
 
At the time of Nash's work, his theorem was considered to be something of a mathematical curiosity. The result itself has not found major applications. However, Nash's method of proof was adapted by [[Camillo De Lellis]] and László Székelyhidi to construct low-regularity solutions, with prescribed [[kinetic energy]], of the [[Euler equation]]s from the mathematical study of [[fluid mechanics]]. In analytical terms, the Euler equations have a formal similarity to the isometric embedding equations, via the quadratic nonlinearity in the first derivatives of the unknown function.{{sfnm|1a1=De Lellis|1a2=Székelyhidi|1y=2013|2a1=Isett|2y=2018}} The ideas of Nash's proof were abstracted by [[Mikhael Gromov (mathematician)|Mikhael Gromov]] to the principle of ''convex integration'', with a corresponding [[h-principle]].{{sfnm|1a1=Gromov|1y=1986|1loc=Section 2.4}} This was applied by [[Stefan Müller (mathematician)|Stefan Müller]] and [[Vladimír Šverák]] to [[Hilbert's nineteenth problem]], constructing minimizers of minimal differentiability in the [[calculus of variations]].{{sfnm|1a1=Müller|1a2=Šverák|1y=2003}}
