Isometric imbeddings of compact symmetric spaces (Q2533363): Difference between revisions

This paper describes explicitly (i.e., in terms of matrices) an equivariant isometric imbedding of each of the following compact symmetric spaces into a Euclidean space: (i) Grassmann manifolds; (ii) classical groups; (iii) \(\mathrm{SO}(2n)/\mathrm{U}(n)\) and \(\mathrm{U}(2n)/\mathrm{Sp}(n)\); (iv) \(\mathrm{U}(n)/\mathrm{O}(n)\) and \(\mathrm{Sp}(n)/\mathrm{U}(n)\); (v) \(E_6/\mathrm{Spin}(10)\times T\), \(F_4/\mathrm{Spin}(9)\), \(E_7/E_6 \times T\), \(E_6/F_4\). Each imbedding constructed is minimal in the sense of total curvature and furnishes an example of minimal submanifold (in the sense of vanishing mean curvature normal) of a sphere.
