Simply connected Reimannian symmetric spaces were classified by E. Cartan. This paper examines an attempt to obtain an analogous classification when the metric has indefinite signature.
What do the classification of algebraic surfaces, Weyl's dimension formula and maximal orders in central simple algebras have in common? All are related to a type of manifold called locally mixed symmetric spaces in this book. The presentation emphasizes geometric concepts and r…

Riemannian manifolds of conullity two
by Kowalski, Oldrich, Boeckx, Eric, Vanhecker, Lieven
This book deals with Riemannian manifolds for which the nullity space of the curvature tensor has codimension two. These manifolds are "semi-symmetric spaces foliated by Euclidean leaves of codimension two" in the sense of Z.I. Szabo. The authors concentrate on the rich geometri…
