Extract

The theory of generalized symmetric spaces was begun by P. J. Graham and A. J. Ledger in 1967 in their paper [1]. Other authors who contributed to this topic were, e.g. F. Brickel, A. Deicke, A. S. Fedenko, A. Gray, V. G. Kac, M. Obata, B. Pettit, K. Sekigawa and J. Wolf; more recently also J. A. Jiménez, A. R. Razawi, C. Sánchez, M. Sekizawa, M. Toomanian, G. Tsagas and L. Vanhecke. A systematic exposition is given in the book by O. Kowalski[3, 4]. The author classifies all generalized symmetric Riemannian spaces in dimension n ≤ 5, using a systematic method.
