Let $f:\Bbb R^2\to\Bbb R^2$ be a differentiable function. Are there names for the following two conditions?

  1. $Df(p)$ is an isometry at each point $p\in\Bbb R^2$;

  2. $Df(p)$ is a similarity at each point $p\in\Bbb R^2?$

(I'm interested in $\Bbb R^2$ mainly, but if there's a general term for all finite dimensions, then please let me know.)

I would like to know this because I noticed that if $g$ satisfies 2. and $f:\Bbb C\to\Bbb C$ is holomorphic, then $g^{-1}\circ f\circ g$ is holomorphic because a conjugation of a rotation by an isometry is a rotation, and scalings commute with everything so the composition's derivative is a scaled rotation, which makes the composition holomorphic.

    Oh yes, you're right. Please ignore my second suggestion then.2012-11-05

For the first one it is just that - an isometry http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Isometry_(Riemannian_geometry) (that's the same as local isometry if dimensions of target and domain agree). For the second one http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Conformal_map is related. A linear map that preserves angles will be a composition of homothety and an isometry. The coefficient of homothety is the "conformal factor". Being just similarity at each point probably does not have a name because it does not make sense on general manifolds.
