Abstract

In this paper, we characterize C2C^2-smooth totally geodesic isometric embeddings f ⁣:ΩΩf\colon \Omega\to\Omega' between bounded symmetric domains Ω\Omega and Ω\Omega' which extend C1C^1-smoothly over some open subset in the Shilov boundaries and have nontrivial normal derivatives on it. In particular, if Ω\Omega is irreducible, there exist totally geodesic bounded symmetric subdomains Ω1\Omega_1 and Ω2\Omega_2 of Ω\Omega' such that f=(f1,f2)f = (f_1, f_2) maps into Ω1×Ω2Ω\Omega_1\times \Omega_2\subset \Omega where f1f_1 is holomorphic and f2f_2 is anti-holomorphic totally geodesic isometric embeddings. If rank(Ω)<2rank(Ω)\text{rank}(\Omega')<2\text{rank}(\Omega), then either ff or fˉ\bar f is a standard holomorphic embedding.
