Matroid varieties are the closures in the Grassmannian of sets of points defined by specifying which Pl\"ucker coordinates vanish and which don't --- the set of nonvanishing Pl\"ucker coordinates forms a well-studied object called a…

We give explicit presentations of the integral equivariant cohomology of the affine Grassmannians and flag varieties in type A, arising from their natural embeddings in the corresponding infinite (Sato) Grassmannian and flag variety. These…

We prove that for a chainable continuum $X$ and every non-zigzag $x\in X$ there exists a planar embedding $\phi:X\to \phi(X)\subset\mathbb R^2$ such that $\phi(x)$ is accessible, partially answering the question of Nadler and Quinn from…

We show that certain groups of piecewise linear homeomorphims of the interval are invariably generated.

We prove that the infinite half-spin representations are topologically Noetherian with respect to the infinite spin group. As a consequence we obtain that half-spin varieties, which we introduce, are defined by the pullback of equations at…

Ind-varieties of generalized flags have been studied for two decades. However, a precise statement of when two such ind-varieties, one or both being possibly ind-varieties of isotropic generalized flags, are isomorphic, has been missing in…

We introduce a family of spaces called critical varieties. Each critical variety is a subset of one of the positroid varieties in the Grassmannian. The combinatorics of positroid varieties is captured by the dimer model on a planar…

This paper aims at generalizing some geometric properties of Grassmannians of finite dimensional vector spaces to the case of Grassmannnians of infinite dimensional ones, in particular for that of $k((z))$. It is shown that the Determinant…

We study isometric embeddings of a Euclidean space or a Heisenberg group into a higher dimensional Heisenberg group, where both the source and target space are equipped with an arbitrary left-invariant homogeneous distance that is not…

We propose an approach for capturing the signal variability in hyperspectral imagery using the framework of the Grassmann manifold. Labeled points from each class are sampled and used to form abstract points on the Grassmannian. The…

We present several principal bundles of embeddings of compact manifolds (with or without boundary) whose base manifolds are nonlinear Grassmannians. We study their infinite dimensional differential manifold structure in the Fr\'echet…

We prove that the m-generated Grassmann algebra can be embedded into a 2^{m-1}x2^{m-1} matrix algebra over a factor of a commutative polynomial algebra in m indeterminates. Cayley-Hamilton and standard identities for nxn matrices over the…

Using the Plucker map between grassmannians, we study basic aspects of classic grassmannian geometries. For `hyperbolic' grassmannian geometries, we prove some facts (for instance, that the Plucker map is a minimal isometric embedding) that…

The present article studies holomorphic isometric embeddings of arbitrary complex Grassmannians into quadrics, generalising results in [13]. The moduli spaces of these embeddings up to gauge and image equivalence are discussed using a…

In this article we establish an analogue of the Barth-Van de Ven-Tyurin-Sato theorem. We prove that a finite rank vector bundle on a complete intersection of finite codimension in a linear ind-Grassmannian is isomorphic to a direct sum of…

Let $\Pi$ be a polar space of type $\textsf{D}_{n}$. Denote by ${\mathcal G}_{\delta}(\Pi)$, $\delta\in \{+,-\}$ the associated half-spin Grassmannians and write $\Gamma_{\delta}(\Pi)$ for the corresponding half-spin Grassmann graphs. In…

The isotropic Grassmannian parametrizes isotropic subspaces of a vector space equipped with a quadratic form. In this paper, we show that any maximal isotropic Grassmannian in its Pl\"ucker embedding can be defined by pulling back the…

In this paper we discuss the dimensions of the (higher) secant varieties to the Grassmann varieties, embedded via the Plucker embeddings. We use Terracini's Lemma and the duality in the exterior algebra of a finite dimensional vector space…

Every Grassmannian, in its Pl\"ucker embedding, is defined by quadratic polynomials. We prove a vast, qualitative, generalisation of this fact to what we call Pl\"ucker varieties. A Pl\"ucker variety is in fact a family of varieties in…

We consider the loci of invertible linear maps $f : \mathbb{C}^n \to {(\mathbb{C}^n)}^*$ together with pairs of flags $(E_\bullet, F_\bullet)$ in $\mathbb{C}^n$ such that the various restrictions $f : F_j \to E_i^*$ have specified ranks.…
