Review text

[For the entire collection see Zbl 0748.00025.] The main theorem says the following: Let \(G\) and \(H\) be compact connected Lie groups, \(G/H\) a naturally reductive Riemannian space, and let \(\gamma(t)\) be a geodesic of \(G/H\). Then the closure of this geodesic is either a simply closed curve or it is isometric to a flat torus of dimension at least two. (This torus is not totally geodesic, in general). Some applications are also given.
