Abstract
Let (M, Q) be an n-dimensional connected Riemannian manifold and 1 ≦ k ≦ n. Then (M, Q) is called k-fold symmetric if given any k tangent vectors ξ1, ξ2, … , ξk at a point x ∈ M, there exists an isometry σ such that σ(x) = x and dσ(ξi) = −ξi, i = 1, 2, … , k. This kind of manifolds with k = 1, usually called weakly symmetric Riemannian manifolds, was introduced by A. Selberg as a weakening of the notion of n-fold symmetric ones, i.e., globally symmetric Riemannian manifolds. It is well known that there are many more weakly symmetric spaces than globally symmetric ones. In this paper, we prove that a connected simply connected 2-fold symmetric Riemannian manifold must be globally symmetric.
