Let a Riemannian manifold $M$, it is possible to write all Riemannian metrics $g$ of manifold $M$ is polar coordinates, if it is possible what guarantees this? To finish, what is the expression general for this metric?

1I am not understand you well. If you mean the global polar coordinates, there is not . But locally, just by Exp , the polar coordinate in $T_xM$ can be pushed to location of $x$. – Enhao Lan Dec 20 '16 at 12:28
