Abstract: In this paper we give a geometrically invariant spinorial representation of surfaces in four-dimensional space forms. In the Euclidean space, we obtain a representation formula which generalizes the Weierstrass representation formula of minimal surfaces. We also obtain as particular cases the spinorial characterizations of surfaces in R3 and in S3 given by T. Friedrich and by B. Morel


\textit{T. Friedrich} gave in [J. Geom. Phys. 28, No. 1--2, 143--157 (1998; Zbl 0966.53042)] a geometrically invariant spinorial representation of surfaces in \(\mathbb{R}^3\). This approach was generalized to surfaces in other three-dimensional geometries and also in the semi-Riemannian case. The aim of present paper is to extend this construction to the case of codimension two. More precisely, a geometrically invariant representation of surfaces in \(4\)-dimensional space-forms \(M^4(c)\) is provided by spinors solutions of a Dirac equation.
