One of the most outstanding problems in differential geometry is
concerned with flexibility of closed surface in Euclidean 3-space: Is it
possible to continuously deform a smooth closed surface without
changing its intrinsic metric structure? In this talk I will give a
quick survey of known results in this area, which is primarily concerned
with convex surfaces, and outline a program for studying the general
case.
