Spine spaces can be considered as fragments of a projective Grassmann space. We prove that the structure of lines together with binary coplanarity relation, as well as with binary relation of being in one pencil of lines, is a sufficient…

We show that the transformations of Grassmannians (of complex Hilbert spaces) induced by linear or conjugate-linear isometries can be characterized as transformations preserving some of principal angles (corresponding to the orthogonality,…

It is known that the complex Grassmannian of $k$-dimensional subspaces can be identified with the set of projection matrices of rank $k$. It is also classically known that the convex hull of this set is the set of Hermitian matrices with…

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 introduce the totally nonnegative Lagrangian Grassmannian $\rm{LG}_{\geq 0}^R (n,2n)$, a new subset of the totally nonnegative Grassmannian consisting of subspaces isotropic with respect to a certain bilinear form $R$. We describe its…

We study graphs coming from quadratic spaces over finite fields via orthogonality which generalize a recent result given by Bishnoi, Ihringer, and Pepe (2019). More precisely, we study the graph $\Gamma^{\square}(n,k,q)$ as follows: the…

Let H be the n-dimensional hyperbolic space of constant sectional curvature -1 and let G be the identity component of the isometry group of H. We find all the G-invariant pseudo-Riemannian metrics on the space OG_n of oriented geodesics of…

We classify totally geodesic submanifolds of the real Stiefel manifolds of orthogonal two-frames. We also classify polar actions on these Stiefel manifolds, specifically, we prove that the orbits of polar actions are lifts of polar actions…

In this article, we consider the decoding problem of affine Grassmann codes over nonbinary fields. We use matrices of different ranks to construct a large set consisting of parity checks of affine Grassmann codes, which are orthogonal with…

In this paper we introduce generalized pseudo-quadratic forms and develope some theory for them. Recall that the codomain of a $(\sigma,\varepsilon)$-quadratic form is the group $\overline{K} := K/K_{\sigma,\varepsilon}$, where $K$ is the…

Let $V$ be a vector space over a field $\mathbb F$ with scalar product given by a nondegenerate sesquilinear form whose matrix is diagonal in some basis. If $\mathbb F=\mathbb C$, then we give canonical matrices of isometric and selfadjoint…

Secant varieties of a homogeneously embedded generalised Grassmannian $G/P$ inherit the natural group action, and one can reduce the study of their local geometric properties to $G$-orbit representatives. The case of secant varieties of…

We construct interpolation operators for functions taking values in a symmetric space -- a smooth manifold with an inversion symmetry about every point. Key to our construction is the observation that every symmetric space can be realized…

The Grassmannian ${\mathcal G}_q(n,k)$ is the set of all $k$-dimensional subspaces of the vector space $\mathbb{F}_q^n$. It is well known that codes in the Grassmannian space can be used for error-correction in random network coding. On the…
