In this paper, we study the isolation phenomena of Einstein manifolds from the viewpoint of submanifolds theory. First, for locally strongly convex Einstein affine hyperspheres we prove a rigidity theorem and as its direct consequence we establish a unified affine differential geometric characterization of the noncompact symmetric spaces E₆₍₋₂₆₎/F₄ and SL(m,R)/SO(m), SL(m,C)/SU(m), SU^*(2m)/Sp(m) for each m≥ 3. Second and analogously, for Einstein Lagrangian minimal submanifolds of the complex projective space CPⁿ(4) with constant holomorphic sectional curvature $4$, we prove a similar rigidity theorem and as its direct consequence we establish a unified differential geometric characterization of the compact symmetric spaces E₆/F₄ and SU(m)/SO(m), SU(m), SU(2m)/Sp(m) for each m≥ 3.
