Projective Ranks of Compact Hermitian Symmetric Spaces

arXiv:math/0104112

Abstract

Let M be a compact irreducible Hermitian symmetric space and write M=G/K, with G the group of holomorphic isometries of M and K the stability group of the point of 0 in M. We determine the maximal dimension of a complex projective space embedded in M as a totally geodesic submanifold.
