Surfaces in 𝕊 3 and 3 via spinors
Séminaire de théorie spectrale et géométrie, Volume 23 (2004-2005), pp. 131-144.

We generalize the spinorial characterization of isometric immersions of surfaces in 3 given by T. Friedrich to surfaces in 𝕊 3 and 3 . The main argument is the interpretation of the energy-momentum tensor associated with a special spinor field as a second fundamental form. It turns out that such a characterization of isometric immersions in terms of a special section of the spinor bundle also holds in the case of hypersurfaces in the Euclidean 4-space.
