Keywords:
semi-symmetric spaces; Killing and Codazzi Ricci tensor; locally symmetric spaces; spaces with volume-preserving geodesic symmetries; C-spaces; Osserman spaces
Summary:
One proves that semi-symmetric spaces with a Codazzi or Killing Ricci tensor are locally symmetric. Some applications of this result are given.
