The Riemannian geometry of rank one symmetric spaces has been treated by numerous authors by using explicit expressions for the curvature tensor. These explicit expressions are given by means of suitable geometric structures such as Kähler and quaternionic Kähler structures, for example. This kind of treatment differs a lot from that for the other symmetric spaces where at many places algebraic objects, such as roots, are used. This paper is an interesting, detailed and useful study of the rank two symmetric spaces \(\mathbb{C} G_{2,m}\) (i.e., the complex Grassmann manifolds of all two-dimensional complex linear subspaces in \(\mathbb{C}^{m +2})\). These particular spaces are equipped with a Kähler and a quaternionic Kähler structure which play a fundamental role in this study in order to obtain a treatment which is quite similar to that of two-point homogeneous spaces. The author starts his study by constructing a particularly useful model for \(\mathbb{C} G_{2,m}\). To this end he considers \(\mathbb{C} P^{m+1}\) embedded in a canonical way in \(\mathbb{H} P^{m+1}\) and considers its focal set \(Q^{m+1}\) (of codimension 3). This space is equipped with a one-dimensional Riemannian foliation \({\mathcal F}\) formed by closed geodesics. The orbit space \(B^{m+1} (=Q^{m+1}/{\mathcal F})\), equipped with the Riemannian structure for which the canonical projection \(Q^{m+1}\to B^{m+1}\) becomes a Riemannian submersion, is the wanted model. Each point of \(\mathbb{C} G_{2,m}\) corresponds to such a closed geodesic. Hence, focal set theory is a key tool in the study of the extrinsic and intrinsic geometry of \(Q^{m+1}\) and Riemannian submersion theory is used to give the explicit construction of the already mentioned Kähler and quaternionic Kähler structures. In the second part of the paper this development is used to study some aspects of the Riemannian geometry of \(\mathbb{C} G_{2,m}\). Among other things, the author provides an explicit expression for the Riemannian curvature tensor on \(B^{m+1}\) by using the metric and both already mentioned structures. He uses it to study the Jacobi operator and its spectral properties. Furthermore, the author gives a detailed study of maximal totally geodesic submanifolds, treats the group of holomorphic isometries of \(\mathbb{C} G_{2,m}\), derives a classification of all isometric reflections in submanifolds of \(\mathbb{C} G_{2,m}\), and provides a classification of all isoparametric systems of codimension one in \(\mathbb{C} G_{2,m}\) which have a totally geodesic submanifold as a singular orbit. The paper has a very geometrical flavour, is very well-written, is rich in content and should interest everybody who wants to work in Riemannian geometry.
