Campbell's theorem states that any -dimensional Riemannian
manifold can be locally embedded into an
-dimensional manifold with Ricci
curvature Tensor
.
A similar version of the theorem for a pseudo-Riemannian
manifold states that any
-dimensional pseudo-Riemannian
manifold can be locally and isometrically embedded in an
-dimensional pseudo-Euclidean
space.
