[For the entire collection see Zbl 0733.00014.] The author first proves the following theorem. Let \(M\) be a connected, simply connected \(n\)-dimensional manifold endowed with a torsion free connection \(\nabla\), a symmetric bilinear form \(h\), a (1,1)-tensor \(S\) and a 1-form \(\tau\) satisfying some conditions, then there exists an immersion \(f: M\to R^{n+1}\) and a vector field \(\xi\) transversal to \(f\) such that \(\nabla\), \(h\), \(S\) and \(\tau\) are the objects induced by \((f,\xi)\). This theorem suggests that under some additional conditions we should be able to realize a manifold \(M\) as a hypersurface in \(R^{n+1}\) if the given data are \(\nabla\) and \(h\) only. As an example of such a result we know the classical theorem of Radon. The author then proves a theorem which is an extension of the Radon theorem. The cases where \(\dim M>2\) and \(\dim M=2\) are considered separately.
