The W1 W4 class of almost Hermitian manifolds (in accordance with the Gray — Hervella classification) is usually named as the class of Vaisman — Gray manifolds. This class contains all Kählerian, nearly Kählerian and locally conformal Kählerian manifolds. As it is known, Vaisman — Gray manifolds are invariant under the conformal transformations of the metric. A criterion in the terms of the configuration tensor for an arbitrary six-dimensional submanifold of Cayley algebra to belong to the Vaisman — Gray class of almost Hermitian manifolds is established. The Cartan structural equations of the almost contact metric structures induced on oriented hypersurfaces of six-dimensional Vaisman — Gray submanifolds of the octave algebra are obtained. It is proved that totally geodesic hypersurfaces of six-dimensional Vaisman — Gray submanifolds of Cayley algebra admit nearly cosymplectic structures (or Endo structures). This result is a generalization of the previously proved fact that totally geodesic hypersurfaces of nearly Kählerian manifolds also admit nearly cosymplectic structures.

AbstractIn this paper we give a characterization of a real hypersurface of Type (A) in complex two-plane GrassmanniansG2(ℂm+2), which means a tube over a totally geodesicG2(ℂm+1) inG2(ℂm+2), by means of the Reeb parallel structure Jacobi operator ∇εRε= 0.

AbstractIn this paper we give a characterization of real hypersurfaces of type A in a complex two-plane Grassmannian G2(ℂm+2) which are tubes over totally geodesic G2(ℂm+1) in G2(ℂm+2) in terms of the vanishing Lie derivative of the shape operator A along the direction of the Reeb vector field ξ.

In recent years a new approach to the study of compact symmetric spaces has been taken by Nagano and Chen [10]. This approach assigned to each pair of antipodal points on a closed geodesic a pair of totally geodesic submanifolds. In this paper we will show how these totally geodesic submanifolds can be used in conjunction with a theorem of Bott to compute homotopy in compact symmetric spaces. Some of the results are already known (see [1], [5], [11] for example) but we include them here for completeness and to illustrate this unified approach. We also exhibit a connection between the second homotopy group of a compact symmetric space and the multiplicity of the highest root. Using this in conjunction with a theorem of J. H. Cheng [6] we obtain a topological characterization of quaternionic symmetric spaces with antiquaternionic involutive isometry. The author would like to thank Prof T. Nagano for all his help and his detailed descriptions of the totally geodesic submanifolds mentioned above.
