Abstract: A classification is given of the exceptional mathbbZ2imesmathbbZ2-symmetric spaces G/K by A.Kollross, where G is an exceptional compact Lie group or S!pin(8), and moreover the structure of K is determined as Lie algebra. In the present article, we give a pair of commuting involutive automorphisms (involutions) ildesigma,ildeau of G concretely and determine the structure of group GsigmacapGau corresponding to Lie algebra mathfrakgsigmacapmathfrakgau, where G is an exceptional compact Lie group. Thereby, we realize exceptional mathbbZ2imesmathbbZ2-symmetric spaces, globally.


A homogeneous space \(G/K\) is called \((\mathbb{Z}_2\times \mathbb{Z}_2)\)-symmetric if \(G\) acts almost effectively on \(G/K\) and there is an injective homomorphism \(\rho: \mathbb{Z}_2\times \mathbb{Z}_2 \longrightarrow\mathrm{Aut}(G)\), such that \[ G_0^{\mathbb{Z}_2\times \mathbb{Z}_2}\subset K \subset G_0^{\mathbb{Z}_2\times \mathbb{Z}_2}\,. \] Here \({G^{\mathbb{Z}_2\times \mathbb{Z}_2}}\) denotes the subgroup of elements fixed by \(\mathbb{Z}_2\times \mathbb{Z}_2\) and \(G_0^{\mathbb{Z}_2\times \mathbb{Z}_2}\) its identity component. Following earlier work of A.~Kollross, who gave a complete description and classification of \(\mathbb{Z}_2\times \mathbb{Z}_2\) symmetric spaces, the author provides an explicit and detailed description of \(\mathbb{Z}_2\times \mathbb{Z}_2\)-symmetric spaces, associated to the five types of exceptional Lie groups by providing a detailed construction of the quotient subgroups \(K\).
