Spinorial Representation of Submanifolds in Riemannian Space Forms
  In this paper we give a spinorial representation of submanifolds of any dimension and codimension into Riemannian space forms in terms of the existence of so called generalized Killing spinors. We then discuss several applications, among them a new and concise proof of the fundamental theorem of submanifold theory. We also recover results of T. Friedrich, B. Morel and the authors in dimension 2 and 3.
