Abstract
In this article we define symmetric geodesics on conformal compactifications of Euclidean Jordan algebras and classify symmetric geodesics for the Euclidean Jordan algebra of all n × n symmetric real matrices. Furthermore, we show that the closed geodesics for the Euclidean Jordan algebra of all 2 × 2 symmetric real matrices are realised as the torus knots in the Shilov boundary of a Lie ball.
