Abstract

We prove a Bonnet theorem for isometric immersions of submanifolds into the products of an arbitrary number of simply connected real space forms. Then we prove the existence of associate families of minimal surfaces in such products. Finally, in the case of 𝕊2 × 𝕊2, we give a complex version of the main theorem in terms of the two canonical complex structures of 𝕊2 × 𝕊2.
