AbstractLetMbe an irreducible Riemannian symmetric space. The index ofMis the minimal codimension of a (nontrivial) totally geodesic submanifold ofM. We prove that the index is bounded from below by the rank of the symmetric space. We also classify the irreducible Riemannian symmetric spaces whose index is less than or equal to 3.

Abstract Two number fields are said to be Brauer equivalent if there is an isomorphism between their Brauer groups that commutes with restriction. In this paper, we prove a variety of number theoretic results about Brauer equivalent number fields (for example, they must have the same signature). These results are then applied to the geometry of certain arithmetic locally symmetric spaces. As an example, we construct incommensurable arithmetic locally symmetric spaces containing exactly the same set of proper immersed totally geodesic surfaces.
