Symmetric submanifolds associated with irreducible symmetric R-spaces (Q2487128)

The authors complete the classification of symmetric submanifolds in Riemannian symmetric spaces obtained by the third author in [Tsukuba J. Math. 10, 215--242 (1986; Zbl 0619.53033)]. A one-parameter family of noncongruent symmetric submanifolds in irreducible spaces of noncompact type and rank greater then one is constructed. This construction is a noncompact version of the one discussed in the above paper. The authors show that all unclassified cases are exhausted by these examples.
