Immersion in $\mathbb{R}^n$ by complex spinors

Abstract

A beautiful solution to the problem of isometric immersions in $\mathbb{R}^n$ using spinors was found by Bayard, Lawn and Roth. However to use spinors one must assume that the manifold carries a $\mbox{Spin}$-structure and, especially for complex manifolds where is more natural to consider $\mbox{Spin}^{\mathbb{C}}$-structures, this hypothesis is somewhat restrictive. In the present work we show how the above solution can be adapted to $\mbox{Spin}^{\mathbb{C}}$-structures.
