Non-orientable surfaces in 4-space (Q917982)

The author defines a normal form for non-orientable closed surfaces embedded in \({\mathbb{R}}^ 4\). This extends a previous definition for orientable surfaces given by Kawauchi, Shibuyu and Suzuki. As a result he is able to give a geometric proof of the Massey-Whitney Theorem on the values taken by the Euler number of an embedded non-orientable surface.
