Abstract

We give a spinorial representation of a submanifold of any dimension and co-dimension in a symmetric space G/H,G/H, where GG is a complex semi-simple Lie group and HH is a compact real form of G.G. This in particular includes SLn(C)/SU(n),SL_n(\mathbb{C})/SU(n), and extends the previously known spinorial representation of a surface in H3\mathbb{H}^3 if n=2.n=2. We also recover the Bryant representation of a surface with constant mean curvature 1 in H3\mathbb{H}^3 and its generalization for a surface with holomorphic right Gauss map in SLn(C)/SU(n).SL_n(\mathbb{C})/SU(n). As a new application, we obtain a fundamental theorem for the submanifold theory in that spaces.
