A complete classification of isotropic vector equations of the geometric type that possess higher symmetries is proposed. New examples of integrable multi-component systems of the geometric type and their auto-Backlund transformations are…

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…

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…

A $k$-polar Grassmannian is the geometry having as pointset the set of all $k$-dimensional subspaces of a vector space $V$ which are totally isotropic for a given non-degenerate bilinear form $\mu$ defined on $V.$ Hence it can be regarded…

This work is motivated by the relation between the KP and BKP integrable hierarchies, whose $\tau$-functions may be viewed as sections of dual determinantal and Pfaffian line bundles over infinite dimensional Grassmannians. In finite…

Given an $N$-dimensional vector space $V$ over a field $\mathbb{F}$ and a trace-valued $(\sigma,\varepsilon)$-sesquilinear form $f:V\times V\rightarrow \mathbb{F}$, with $\varepsilon = \pm 1$ and $\sigma^2 = \mathrm{id}_{\mathbb{F}}$, let…

The Plucker relations define a projective embedding of the Grassmann variety Gr(k,n). We give another finite set of quadratic equations which defines the same embedding, and whose elements all have rank 6. This is achieved by constructing a…

We launch the study of the tropicalization of the symplectic Grassmannian, that is, the space of all linear subspaces that are isotropic with respect to a fixed symplectic form. We formulate tropical analogues of several equivalent…

Given a homogeneous component of an exterior algebra, we characterize those subspaces in which every nonzero element is decomposable. In geometric terms, this corresponds to characterizing the projective linear subvarieties of the Grassmann…

We classify all the embeddings of P^n in a Grassmannian of lines G(1,N) such that the composition with Pl\"ucker is given by a linear system of quadrics of P^n.

Polynomial solutions to the KP hierarchy are known to be parametrized by a cone over an infinite-dimensional Grassmann variety. Using the notion of Schubert derivation on a Grassmann algebra, we encode the classical Pl\"ucker equations of…

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…

Let $\G(k,r)$ be the Grassmannian of $k$--subspaces in $\Proj^r$ embedded in $\Proj^{N(k,r)}$, with $N(k,r)={{r+1}\choose {k+1}}-1$, via the Pl\"ucker embedding. In this paper, extending some classical results by Gallarati (see \cite…

The set of all artin level quotients of a polynomial algebra in n variables having specified socle degree and type admits a parameter space. It is in fact a quasiprojective variety, naturally embedded in a Grassmannian. We give a geometric…
