contents In this paper we consider the rigidity and flexibility of $C^{1, θ}$ isometric extensions and we show that the Hölder exponent $θ_0=\frac12$ is critical in the following sense: if $u\in C^{1,θ}$ is an isometric extension of a smooth isometric embedding of a codimension one submanifold $Σ$ and $θ> \frac12$, then the tangential connection agrees with the Levi-Civita connection along $Σ$. On the other hand, for any $θ<\frac12$ we can construct $C^{1,θ}$ isometric extensions via convex integration which violate such property. As a byproduct we get moreover an existence theorem for $C^{1, θ}$ isometric embeddings, $θ<\frac12$, of compact Riemannian manifolds with $C^1$ metrics and sharper amount of codimension.
