The totally nonnegative Grassmannian is the set of k-dimensional subspaces V of R^n whose nonzero Pluecker coordinates all have the same sign. Gantmakher and Krein (1950) and Schoenberg and Whitney (1951) independently showed that V is…

Let X be a symplectic or odd orthogonal Grassmannian parametrizing isotropic subspaces in a vector space equipped with a nondegenerate (skew) symmetric form. We prove a Giambelli formula which expresses an arbitrary Schubert class in…

This paper develops a unified framework for observables in n-plectic geometry, extending the L_infty-algebra of Hamiltonian (n-1)-forms to Hamiltonian forms of all degrees via a degree-shifting Grassmann variable u that encodes submanifold…

The square of a skew-symmetric matrix is a symmetric matrix whose eigenvalues have even multiplicities. When the matrices have rank two, they represent the Grassmannian of lines, and the squaring operation takes Pl\"ucker coordinates to…

In this paper, we study the Grassmannian of n-dimensional subspaces of a 2n-dimensional vector space and its infinite-dimensional analogues. Such a Grassmannian can be endowed with two binary relations (adjacent and distant), with pencils…

Motivated by the work of Leznov--Mostovoy, we classify the linear deformations of standard $2n$-dimensional phase space that preserve the obvious symplectic $\mathfrak{o}(n)$-symmetry. As a consequence, we describe standard phase space, as…

Let $k,l,m,n$ be positive integers such that $m-l\ge l>k, m-l>n-k\ge k$ and $m-l>2k^2-k-1$. Let $G_{k}(\mathbb{C}^n)$ denote the Grassmann manifold of $k$-dimensional vector subspaces of $\bc^n$. We show that any continuous map…

We study the geometry of flag manifolds under different embeddings into a product of Grassmannians. We show that differential geometric objects and operations -- tangent vector, metric, normal vector, exponential map, geodesic, parallel…

The polar orthogonal Grassmann code $C(\mathbb{O}_{3,6})$ is the linear code associated to the Grassmann embedding of the Dual Polar space of $Q^+(5,q)$. In this manuscript we study the minimum distance of this embedding. We prove that the…
