We consider the decomposition of a compact-type symmetric space into a product of factors and show that the rank-one factors, when considered as totally geodesic submanifolds of the space, are isolated from inequivalent minimal submanifolds.

We prove a gap rigidity theorem for diagonal curves in irreducible compact Hermitian symmetric spaces of tube type, which is a dual analogy to a theorem obtained by Mok in noncompact case. Motivated by the proof we give a theorem on weaker gap rigidity problems for higher dimensional submanifolds.
We establish extremality of Riemannian metrics g with non-negative curvature operator on symmetric spaces M=G/K of compact type with rk(G)-rk(K)le 1. Let g be another metric with scalar curvature k, such that gge g on 2-vectors. We show that kge k everywhere on M implies k=k. Under an additional condition on the Ricci curvature of g, kge k even implies g=g. We also study area-non-increasing spin maps onto such Riemannian manifolds.
We show that the group of conformal homeomorphisms of the boundary of a rank one symmetric space (except the hyperbolic plane) of noncompact type acts as a maximal convergence group. Moreover, we show that any family of uniformly quasiconformal homeomorphisms has the convergence property. Our theorems generalize results of Gehring and Martin in the real hyperbolic case for Mobius groups. As a consequence, this shows that the maximal convergence subgroups of the group of self homeomorphisms of the $d$-sphere are not unique up to conjugacy. Finally, we discuss some implications of maximality.
In this paper, we show that there exists no equifocal submanifold with non-flat section in four irreducible simply connected symmetric spaces of compact type and rank two. Also, we show a fact for the sections of equifocal submanifolds with non-flat section in other irreducible simply connected symmetric spaces of compact type and rank two.
We develop a combinatorial rigidity theory for symmetric bar-joint frameworks in a general finite dimensional normed space. In the case of rotational symmetry, matroidal Maxwell-type sparsity counts are identified for a large class of $d$-dimensional normed spaces (including all $ell^p$ spaces with $p ot=2$). Complete combinatorial characterisations are obtained for half-turn rotation in the $ell^1$ and $ell^infty$-plane. As a key tool, a new Henneberg-type inductive construction is developed for the matroidal class of $(2,2,0)$-gain-tight graphs.
