Abstract

Let F\mathbb{F} be any field. The Grassmannian Gr(m,n)\mathrm{Gr}(m,n) is the set of mm-dimensional subspaces in Fn\mathbb{F}^n, and the general linear group GLn(F)\mathrm{GL}_n(\mathbb{F}) acts transitively on it. The Schubert cells of Gr(m,n)\mathrm{Gr}(m,n) are the orbits of the Borel subgroup BGLn(F)\mathcal{B} \subset \mathrm{GL}_n(\mathbb{F}) on Gr(m,n)\mathrm{Gr}(m,n). We consider the association scheme on each Schubert cell defined by the B\mathcal{B}-action and show it is symmetric and it is the generalized wreath product of one-class association schemes, which was introduced by R. A. Bailey [European Journal of Combinatorics 27 (2006) 428--435].
