A. The compact simply connected Riemannian 4-symmetric spaces were classified by J.A. Jiménez according to type of the Lie algebras. As homogeneous manifolds, these spaces are of the form G/H, where G is a connected compact simple Lie group with an automorphismγ of order four on G and H is a fixed points subgroup G γ of G. According to the classification by J.A. Jiménez, there exist seven compact simply connected Riemannian 4-symmetric spaces G/H in the case where G is of type E 8 . In the present article, we give the explicit form of automorphismsw 4υ4 and µ 4 of order four on E 8 induced by the C-linear transformations w 4 , υ 4 and µ 4 of the 248-dimensional vector space e 8 C , respectively. Further, we determine the structure of these fixed points subgroups (E 8 ) w 4 , (E 8 ) υ 4 and (E 8 ) µ 4 of E 8 . These amount to the global realizations of three spaces among seven Riemannian 4-symmetric spaces G/H above corresponding to the Lie algebras h = iR ⊕ su(8), iR ⊕ e 7 and h = su(2) ⊕ su (8), where h = Lie(H).
