EQUIFOCAL HYPERSURFACES IN SYMMETRIC SPACES

This note investigates the multiplicity problem of principal curvatures of equifocal hypersurfaces in simply connected rank 1 symmetric spaces. Using Clifford representation theory, and the author also constructs infinitely many equifocal hypersurfaces in the symmetric spaces.
