The Degree of Stiefel Manifolds

Algebraic Geometry 2022-07-08 v2 Representation Theory

Abstract

We compute the degree of Stiefel manifolds, that is, the variety of orthonormal frames in a finite dimensional vector space. Our approach employs techniques from classical algebraic geometry, algebraic combinatorics, and classical invariant theory.
