Differential geometry of symmetric spaces (53C35) Global submanifolds (53C40)

Abstract: Let M be an irreducible Riemannian symmetric space. The index i(M) of M is the minimal codimension of a (non-trivial) totally geodesic submanifold of M. The purpose of this note is to determine the index i(M) for all irreducible Riemannian symmetric spaces M of type (II) and (IV).
