By "intrinsic", I mean, something which doesn't depend choice of coordinates.

I think this is true, but is this actually a theorem that is written in some book?

Is there some sort of "classification theorem" of this type in higher dimensions?

  • This paper might be of some interest. – Kajelad Sep 24 '20 at 21:15
