On degrees of minimal immersions of symmetric spaces into spheres
The degree of a minimal immersion of a symmetric space into spheres is determined in certain cases. Here the degree of an immersion is the smallest number such that its mth fundamental form does not vanish but the \((m+1)st\) does. The paper uses the theory by \textit{M. P. do Carmo} and \textit{N. R. Wallach} [Ann. Math., II. Ser. 93, 43-62 (1971; Zbl 0218.53069)], see also \textit{K. Mashimo} [Tsukuba J. Math. 4, 133-145 (1980; Zbl 0462.53031)].
