摘要

We consider rigidity properties of compact symmetric spaces X with metric \(g_0\) g 0 of rank one. Suppose g is another Riemannian metric on X with sectional curvature \(\kappa \) κ bounded by \(0 \le \kappa \le 1.\) 0 κ 1 . If g equals \(g_0\) g 0 outside a convex proper subset of X,  then g is isometric with \(g_0.\) g 0 . We also exhibit examples of surfaces showing that the nonnegativity of the curvature is needed. Our main result complements earlier results on other symmetric spaces by Gromov and Schroeder–Ziller.
