Extrinsic symmetric spaces and orbits of $$s$$-representations. (English) Zbl 0857.53033
Manuscr. Math. 88, No. 4, 517-524 (1995); Erratum 92, 408 (1997).
The authors give a short and elegant new proof of the reviewer’s theorem classifying the extrinsic symmetric submanifolds of spheres as the orbits of $$s$$-representations. They also clarify the relations to [J. Dadok, Trans. Am. Math. Soc. 288, 125-137 (1985; Zbl 0565.22010)].
