The Focal Locus of a Riemannian 4-Symmetric Space
Abstract compact Riemannian 4-symmetric space M can be regarded as a fibre bundle over a Riemannian 2-symmetric space with totally geodesic fibres isometric to a 2-symmetric space. Here the result of R. Crittenden for conjugate and cut points in a 2-symmetric space is extended to the focal points of the …
