This paper studies the robust isolated calmness property of the KKT solution mapping of a class of nonsmooth optimization problems on Riemannian manifold. The manifold version of the Robinson constraint qualification, the strict Robinson constraint qualification, and the second order conditions are defined and discussed. We show that the robust isolated calmness of the KKT solution mapping is equivalent to the M-SRCQ and M-SOSC conditions. Furthermore, under the above two conditions, we show that the Riemannian augmented Lagrangian method has a local linear convergence rate. Finally, we verify the proposed conditions and demonstrate the convergence rate on two minimization problems over the sphere and the manifold of fixed rank matrices.
