Abstract

This is an expository article. We would like to draw the attention to some problems in submanifold and homogeneous geometry related to the so-called normal holonomy. We will also survey on recent results obtained in cooperation with J. Berndt, A. J. Di Scala, S. Reggiani, J. S. Rodríguez, H. Tamaru, and F. Vittone.
