Abstract

We describe embeddings of nn-dimensional Lorentzian manifolds, including Friedmann-Lema\^itre-Robertson-Walker spaces, in Rn+2\mathbb{R}^{n+2} such that the metrics of the submanifolds are inherited by a restriction from that of Rn+2\mathbb{R}^{n+2}, and the action of the linear group SO(2,n)(2, n) of the ambient space reduces to conformal transformations on the submanifolds.
