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 />
