Abstract

Let TT be a maximal torus of PSL(n,C){\rm PSL}(n, \mathbb C). For n4n\,\geq\, 4, we construct a smooth compactification of PSL(n,C)/T{\rm PSL}(n, \mathbb C)/T as a geometric invariant theoretic quotient of the wonderful compactification PSL(n,C)\overline{{\rm PSL}(n, \mathbb C)} for a suitable choice of TT--linearized ample line bundle on PSL(n,C)\overline{{\rm PSL}(n, \mathbb C)}. We also prove that the connected component, containing the identity element, of the automorphism group of this compactification of PSL(n,C)/T{\rm PSL}(n, \mathbb C)/T is PSL(n,C){\rm PSL}(n, \mathbb C) itself.
