If the Riemann-Christoffel tensor associated with a field C of class 𝒞2 of positive-definite symmetric matrices of order 3 vanishes in a simply connected open subset Ω⊂ℝ3, then this field is the Cauchy-Green tensor field associated with a deformation Θ of class 𝒞3 of the set Ω, and Θ is uniquely determined up to isometries of ℝ3. Let denote the equivalence class formed by all such deformations, and let denote the mapping defined in this fashion. We establish here that the mapping ℱ is continuous, for certain natural metrizable topologies.
