4. Another result<br />

Theorem 2 (Loos 1985)<br />

Let M ⊂ R n be a compact extrinsically <strong>symmetric</strong> space.<br />

Then the maximal torus <strong>of</strong> M is a Riemannian product<br />

<strong>of</strong> round circles.<br />

M : a compact Riemannian <strong>symmetric</strong> space<br />

o ∈ M<br />

A connected component <strong>of</strong> F (so, M) is called a polar.<br />

For p ∈ F (so, M), the connected component <strong>of</strong> F (sp ◦<br />

so, M) through p is called the meridian.<br />
