Let \(M\) be a differentiable manifold. If there exists \(s:M\to \text{Diff} (M)\) with the property that each \(p\in M\) is an isolated fixed point of \(S_p:=s(p)\) then \((M,s)\) is called an \(s\)-manifold; if moreover the \((1,1)\) tensor field defined by \(s_p=(s_p)_{*p}\) is smooth and \(s_p\circ s_q=s_{s_p (q)} \circ s_p\), the \(s\)-manifold \((M,s)\) is called regular. A regular \(s\)-manifold is a \(k\)-symmetric space if \(S_p^k= \text{id}\), \(\forall p\in M\) but \(S_p^\lambda \neq \text{id}\), \(0< \lambda<k\). A Riemannian regular \(s\)-manifold \((M,g,s)\) is a regular \(s\)-manifold together with an \(s\)-invariant metric. It is well known that Riemannian regular \(s\)-manifolds are homogeneous and they are symmetric spaces if and only if \(S\) has linear minimal polynomial. The aim of this paper is to study quadratic Riemannian regular \(s\)-manifolds \((M=G/H,g,s)\), \(G\) a reductive Lie group, \(H\) a reductive Lie subgroup and \(S\) with quadratic minimal polynomial. These are called reductive quadratic regular \(s\)-manifolds. The main result obtained is Theorem 4.3 where the authors show that reductive quadratic regular \(s\)-manifolds are either Hermitian symmetric, or 3-symmetric spaces.
