Abstract
We study universal cycles on the Grassmannian , the set of -dimensional -subspaces of . While their existence is known from inductive and Eulerian graph methods, we give a direct algebraic construction when is odd under the coprimality condition , using a projective-ratio decomposition and a global product condition. We also present explicit examples where a single cycle is simultaneously universal for both and , realizing Grassmannian duality at the level of universal cycles.
