A symmetric space is a type of mathematical structure that arises in differential geometry and Riemannian geometry. More specifically, a symmetric space is a smooth manifold that has a particular symmetry property: for every point on the manifold, there exists an isometry (a distance-preserving transformation) that reflects the manifold about that point.
