Bounded homogeneous domains (equivalently, homogeneous Siegel domains) equipped with the Bergman metric form a large class of K~ ihler-Einstein manifolds. Among them the bounded symmetric domains have generated many interesting differential geometric results. The larger class of quasisymmetric domains should exhibit comparably interesting differential geometric features and in particular should indicate what one can expect in the general case.In this note we introduce the notion of a'canonical fiat'(totally geodesic submanifold) and characterize its tangent directions. They turn out to be (essentially) the directions of a flat totally geodesic submanifold of a canonical real symmetric submanifold. For quasisymmetric domains we show that these directions are the directions for which the covariant derivative annihilates the curvature tensor, Vw R= 0. The proof of this latter result uses and generalizes (some of) the proofs given in [9] for the classification of quasisymmetric Siegel domains.
