Abstract
We give a loop group formulation for the problem of isometric immersions with flat normal bundle of a simply connected pseudo-Riemannian manifold , of dimension , constant sectional curvature , and signature , into the pseudo-Euclidean space , of signature . In fact these immersions are obtained canonically from the loop group maps corresponding to isometric immersions of the same manifold into a pseudo-Riemannian sphere or hyperbolic space or , which have previously been studied. A simple formula is given for obtaining these immersions from those loop group maps.
