Abstract: In this paper we find necessary and sufficient conditions for a nondegenerate arbitrary signature manifold $M^n$ to be realized as a submanifold in the large class of warped product manifolds $varepsilonIime{s}_{a}mathbb{M}_{lambda}^N(c)$, where $varepsilon=pm1,a:IsubsetmathbbRomathbb{R}^{+}$ is the scale factor and $mathbb{M}_{lambda}^N(c)$ is the $N$-dimensional semi-Riemannian space form of index $lambda$ and constant curvature $cin-1,1.$ We prove that if $M^n$ satisfies Gauss, Codazzi and Ricci equations for a submanifold in $varepsilonIime{s}_{a}mathbb{M}_{lambda}^N(c)$, along with some additional conditions, then $M^n$ can be isometrically immersed into $varepsilonIime{s}_{a}mathbb{M}_{lambda}^N(c)$. This comprises the case of hypersurfaces immersed in semi-Riemannian warped products proved by M.A. Lawn and M. Ortega (see [6]), which is an extension of the isometric immersion result obtained by J. Roth in the Lorentzian products $mathbb{S}^{n}imesmathbb{R}_1$ and $mathbb{H}^{n}imesmathbb{R}_1$ (see [12]), where $mathbb{S}^n$ and $mathbb{H}^n$ stand for the sphere and hyperbolic space of dimension $n$, respectively. This last result, in turn, is an expansion to pseudo-Riemannian manifolds of the isometric immersion result proved by B. Daniel in $mathbb{S}^{n}imesmathbbR$ and $mathbb{H}^{n}imesmathbbR$ (see [2]), one of the first generalizations of the classical theorem for submanifolds in space forms (see [13]). Although additional conditions to Gauss, Codazzi and Ricci equations are not necessary in the classical theorem for submanifolds in space forms, they appear in all other cases cited above.
