Abstract

Let kKk \subset K be an extension of fields, and let AMn(K)A \subset M_{n}(K) be a kk-algebra. We study parameter spaces of mm-dimensional subspaces of KnK^{n} which are invariant under AA. The space FA(m,n)\mathbb{F}_{A}(m,n), whose RR-rational points are AA-invariant, free rank mm summands of RnR^{n}, is well known. We construct a distinct parameter space, GA(m,n)\mathbb{G}_{A}(m,n), which is a fiber product of a Grassmannian and the projectivization of a vector space. We then study the intersection FA(m,n)GA(m,n)\mathbb{F}_{A}(m,n) \cap \mathbb{G}_{A}(m,n), which we denote by HA(m,n)\mathbb{H}_{A}(m,n). Under suitable hypotheses on AA, we construct affine open subschemes of FA(m,n)\mathbb{F}_{A}(m,n) and HA(m,n)\mathbb{H}_{A}(m,n) which cover their KK-rational points. We conclude by using FA(m,n)\mathbb{F}_{A}(m,n), GA(m,n)\mathbb{G}_{A}(m,n), and HA(m,n)\mathbb{H}_{A}(m,n) to construct parameter spaces of two-sided subspaces of two-sided vector spaces.
