Configurations of linear subspaces and rational invariants

We construct a birational equivalence between certain quotients of s-tuples of equidimensional linear subspaces of $C^n$ and some quotients of products of square matrices modulo diagonal conjugations. In particular, we prove the rationality of the quotient space of s-tuples of linear 2-planes in $C^n$ modulo the diagonal $\gl_n(C)$-action . Furthermore, we compute generators of the field of the rational invariants explicitly.
