Abstract: A well-known result of Kostant gives a description of the G-module structure for the exterior algebra of Lie algebra $frakg$. We give a generalization of this result for the isotropy representations of symmetric spaces. If $frakg={frakg}_0+frak{g}_1$ is a Z_2-grading of a simple Lie algebra, we explicitly describe a ${frakg}_0$-module $Spi{n}_0({frakg}_1)$ such that the exterior algebra of ${frakg}_1$ is the tensor square of this module times some power of 2. Although $Spi{n}_0({frakg}_1)$ is usually reducible, we show that a Casimir element for ${frakg}_0$ always acts scalarly on it. We also a give classification of all orthogonal representations of simple algebraic groups having an exterior algebra of skew-invariants.
