Abstract

We discuss the possibility of extending different versions of the Campbell-Magaard theorem, which have already been established in the context of semi-Riemannian geometry, to the context of Weyl’s geometry. We show that some of the known results can be naturally extended to the new geometric scenario, although new difficulties arise. In pursuit of solving the embedding problem, we have obtained some no-go theorems. We also highlight some of the difficulties that appear in the embedding problem, which are typical of the Weylian character of the geometry. The establishing of these new results may be viewed as part of a program that highlights the possible significance of embedding theorems of increasing degrees of generality in the context of modern higher-dimensional space-time theories.
