Abstract

We consider manifolds of oriented flags SO(n)/SO(2)×SO(n3)(n4) as 4- and 6-symmetric spaces and indicate characteristic conditions for invariant Riemannian metrics under which the canonical f-structures on these homogeneous Φ-spaces belong to the classes Kill f, NKf, and G1f of generalized Hermitian geometry.
