Buildings of types $\textsf{C}_n$ and $\textsf{D}_n$ are defined by rank $n$ polar spaces. The associated building Grassmannians are polar and half-spin Grassmannians. Apartments in dual polar spaces and half-spin Grassmannians were…

We characterize all $(n-2)$-dimensional linear subspaces of $\mathbb{P}^{n}$ such that the induced linear projection, when restricted to the rational normal curve, gives a Galois morphism. We give an explicit description of these spaces as…

Let $H$ be an infinite-dimensional complex Hilbert space and let ${\mathcal G}_{\infty}(H)$ be the set of all closed subspaces of $H$ whose dimension and codimension both are infinite. We investigate (not necessarily surjective)…

Let $\mathcal{M}$ be a $\sigma$-finite von Neumann algebra equipped with a normal faithful state $\varphi$, and let $\Phi$ be a growth function. We consider Haagerup noncommutative Orlicz spaces $L^\Phi(\M,\varphi)$ associated with $\M$ and…

Let $\Gamma$ be an embeddable non-degenerate polar space of finite rank $n \geq 2$. Assuming that $\Gamma$ admits the universal embedding (which is true for all embeddable polar spaces except grids of order at least $5$ and certain…

This short survey reviews some aspects of spaces of positive-definite self-adjoint linear transformations on R^n and on C^n, including the standard Riemannian metric and the relation with the exponential mapping acting on self-adjoint…

We study mapping properties of the $k$-plane transform in Sobolev, Besov, and Triebel--Lizorkin spaces. For $1\le k\le d-1$, the $k$-plane transform integrates a function over $k$-dimensional affine planes in $\mathbb{R}^d$, yielding a…

We show that the tropical projective Grassmannian of planes is homeomorphic to a closed subset of the analytic Grassmannian in Berkovich's sense by constructing a continuous section to the tropicalization map. Our main tool is an explicit…

Let $X = \bigcup_k X_k$ be the ind-Grassmannian of codimension $n$ subspaces of an infinite-dimensional torus representation. If $\cE$ is a bundle on $X$, we expect that $\sum_j (-1)^j \Lambda^j(\cE)$ represents the $K$-theoretic…

In the framework of the study of the $Sp(n)$-orbits in the real Grassmannian $G^\R(k,4n)$ of $k$-dimensional non oriented subspaces of a real $4n$-dimensional vector space $V$, here we consider the case of the isoclinic subspaces whose set…

To any $k$-dimensional subspace of $\mathbb Q^n$ one can naturally associate a point in the Grassmannian ${\rm Gr}_{n,k}(\mathbb R)$ and two shapes of lattices of rank $k$ and $n-k$ respectively. These lattices originate by intersecting the…

Given a smooth hyperplane section $H$ of a rational homogeneous space $G/P$ with Picard number one, we address the question whether it is always possible to lift an automorphism of $H$ to the Lie group $G$, or more precisely to Aut$(G/P)$.…

Let $G$ be a classical group $\GL(n)$, $\oU(n)$, $\oO(n)$ or $\Sp(2n)$, over a non-archimedean local field of characteristic zero. Let $\pi$ be an irreducible admissible smooth representation of $G$. It is well known that the contragredient…

The linear spaces that are fixed by a given nilpotent $n \times n$ matrix form a subvariety of the Grassmannian. We classify these varieties for small $n$. Mutiah, Weekes and Yacobi conjectured that their radical ideals are generated by…

We show that the iterated images of a Jacobian pair stabilize; that is, the k-th iterates of a polynomial map of complex two-space to itself with a nonzero constant Jacobian determinant all have the same image for sufficiently large k. More…

Quasi-polar spaces are sets of points having the same intersection numbers with respect to hyperplanes as classical polar spaces. Non-classical examples of quasi-quadrics have been constructed using a technique called pivoting [5]. We…

The integral singular cohomology ring of the Grassmann variety parametrizing $r$-dimensional subspaces in the $n$-dimensional complex vector space is naturally an irreducible representation of the Lie algebra of all the $n\times n$ matrices…

Let k be a field, and A a finite-dimensional k-algebra. Let d be an integer. Denote by Gr(d,A) the Grassmannian of d-subspaces of A (viewed as a k-vector space), and by GL_1(A) the algebraic k-group whose points are invertible elements of…

Let $K$ denote a field, and let $V$ denote a vector space over $K$ with finite positive dimension. Consider a pair of linear transformations $A:V\to V$ and $A^*:V\to V$ that satisfy both conditions below: (i) There exists a basis for $V$…

We show that every paracomplex space form is locally isometric to a modified Riemannian extension and give necessary and sufficient conditions so that a modified Riemannian extension is Einstein. We exhibit Riemannian extension Osserman…
