Abstract: On a (pseudo-)Riemannian manifold (MM,g), some fields of endomorphisms i.e. sections of End(TMM) may be parallel for g. They form an associative algebra A, which is also the commutant of the holonomy group of g. As any associative algebra, A is the sum of its radical and of a semi-simple algebra S. Here we study S: it may be of eight different types, including the generic type S=R.Id, and the K"ahler and hyperk"ahler types 'S isomorphic to C' and 'S isomorphic to the quaternions'. This is a result on real, semi-simple algebras with involution. For each type, the corresponding set of germs of metrics is non-empty; we parametrise it. We give the constraints imposed to the Ricci curvature by parallel endomorphism fields
