To every projective variety $X$, we associate a family of hypersurfaces in different Grassmannians, called the coisotropic hypersurfaces of $X$. These include the Chow form and the Hurwitz form of $X$. Gel'fand, Kapranov and Zelevinsky…

Quadrics in the Grassmannian of lines in 3-space form a 19-dimensional projective space. We study the subvariety of coisotropic hypersurfaces. Following Gel'fand, Kapranov and Zelevinsky, it decomposes into Chow forms of plane conics, Chow…

Given a projective variety $X$ of codimension $k+1$ in $\mathbb{P}^n$ the Chow hypersurface $Z_X$ is the hypersurface of the Grassmannian $\operatorname{Gr}(k, n)$ parametrizing projective linear spaces that intersect $X$. We introduce the…

This small note is about Pl\"ucker hyperplane sections $X$ of the Grassmannian $\operatorname{Gr}(3,V_{10})$. Inspired by the analogy with cubic fourfolds, we prove that the only non-trivial Chow group of $X$ is generated by Grassmannians…

In this short note, completing a sequence of studies by Cooperstein, Kasikova and Shult, we consider the k-Grassmannians of a number of polar geometries of finite rank n. We classify those subspaces that are isomorphic to the j-Grassmannian…

We study curvature-adapted submanifolds of general symmetric spaces. We generalize Cartan's theorem for isoparametric hypersurfaces of spheres and Wang's classification of isoparametric Hopf hypersurfaces in complex projective spaces to any…

We obtain a combinatorial expression for the coefficients of the boundary map of real isotropic and odd orthogonal Grassmannians providing a natural generalization of the formulas already obtained for Lagrangian and maximal isotropic…

We compute the Hochschild-Kostant-Rosenberg decomposition of the Hochschild cohomology of generalised Grassmannians, i.e. partial flag varieties associated to maximal parabolic subgroups in a simple algebraic group. We explain how the…

In [HLY1], Hosono, Lian, and Yau posed a conjecture characterizing the set of solutions to certain Gelfand-Kapranov-Zelevinsky hypergeometric equations which are realized as periods of Calabi-Yau hypersurfaces in a Gorenstein Fano toric…

We study projective homogeneous varieties under an action of a projective unitary group (of outer type). We are especially interested in the case of (unitary) grassmannians of totally isotropic subspaces of a hermitian form over a field,…

Let H be a homology theory for algebraic varieties over a field k. To a complete k-variety X, one naturally attaches an ideal of the coefficient ring H(k). We show that, when X is regular, this ideal depends only on the upper Chow motive of…

Let $Y$ be a Pl\"ucker hypersurface in a symplectic Grassmannian $I_1 Gr(3,n)$ or a bisymplectic Grassmannian $I_2 Gr(3,n)$. We show that many Chow groups of $Y$ inject into cohomology.

The literature on maximal torus orbits in the Grassmannian is vast; in this paper we initiate a program to extend this to diagonal subtori. Our main focus is generalizing portions of Kapranov's seminal work on Chow quotient…

This paper generalizes classical results of Griffiths, Dolgachev and Steenbrink on the cohomology of hypersurfaces in weighted projective spaces. Given a $d$-dimensional projective simplicial toric variety $P$ and an ample hypersurface $X$…

The first purpose of this paper is to generalize the well-known Maslov indices of maps of open Riemann surfaces with boundary lying on Lagrangian submanifolds to maps with boundary lying on coisotropic submanifolds in symplectic manifolds.…

Let $X_w$ be a Schubert subvariety of a cominuscule Grassmannian $X$, and let $\mu:T^*X\rightarrow\mathcal N$ be the Springer map from the cotangent bundle of $X$ to the nilpotent cone $\mathcal N$. In this paper, we construct a resolution…

In 1998, Goresky, Kottwitz, and MacPherson showed that for certain spaces X equipped with a torus action, the T-equivariant cohomology ring of X can be described by combinatorial data obtained from its orbit decomposition. Thus, their…

A variety of codimension $c$ in complex affine space is called positively hyperbolic if the imaginary part of any point in it does not lie in any positive linear subspace of dimension $c$. Positively hyperbolic hypersurfaces are defined by…

The bisymplectic Grassmannian I$_2$Gr$(k, V)$ parametrizes k-dimensional subspaces of a vector space V which are isotropic with respect to two general skew-symmetric forms; it is a Fano variety which admits an action of a torus with a…

Degenerations of linear series on smooth projective varieties approaching multicomponent varieties $X$ give rise to certain quiver representations in the category of linear series over $X$, which yield rational maps from $X$ to the…
