We characterize symmetric Siegel domains among quasisymmetric Siegel domains by means of the Cayley transform introduced by Dorfmeister. We show that a quasisymmetric Siegel domain is symmetric if and only if its Cayley transform image is convex.
Keywords: Quasisymmetric Siegel domain, symmetric Siegel domain, Cayley transform, Jordan algebra.
