On Exceptional Completions of Symmetric Varieties
Journal of Lie Theory, Volume 16 (2006) no. 1, pp. 39-46
Let $G$ be a simple group with an exceptional involution $\sigma$ having $H$ as fixed point set. We study the embedding of $G/H$ in the projective space ${\mathbb P}(V)$ for a simple $G$--module $V$ with a line fixed by $H$ but having no nonzero vector fixed by $H$. For a certain class of such modules $V$ we describe the closure of $G/H$ proving in particular that it is a smooth variety.
