Rigidity of Rank-One Factors of Compact Symmetric Spaces
[Rigidité des facteurs de rang-1 des espaces symétriques compacts]
Annales de l'Institut Fourier, Tome 61 (2011) no. 2, pp. 491-509.

Nous considérons la décomposition d’un espace symétrique de type compact et nous montrons que les facteurs de rang 1, considérés comme sous-variétés de cet espace, sont isolés de toutes les sous-variétés minimales inéquivalentes.

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.
