The paper is on the vanishing topology of singular Milnor fibres of holomorphic families of arbitrary square, symmetric and skew-symmetric matrices with sufficiently many parameters. We define vanishing cycles on such fibres, prove an…
We introduce random matrix ensembles that correspond to the infinite families of irreducible Riemannian symmetric spaces of type I. In particular, we recover the Circular Orthogonal and Symplectic Ensembles of Dyson, and find other families…
To each symmetrizable Cartan matrix, we associate a finite free EI category. We prove that the corresponding category algebra is isomorphic to the algebra defined in [C. Geiss, B. Leclerc, and J. Schr\"{o}er, Quivers with relations for…
This is the first in a series of papers on rank decompositions of the matrix multiplication tensor. In this paper we: establish general facts about rank decompositions of tensors, describe potential ways to search for new matrix…
We develop a correspondence between the orbits of the group of linear symplectomorphisms of a real finite dimensional symplectic vector space in the complex Lagrangian Grassmannian and the Grassmannians of linear subspaces of the real…
We prove that the Grassmannian of totally isotropic $k$-spaces of the polar space associated to the unitary group $\mathsf{SU}_{2n}(\mathbb{F})$ ($n\in \mathbb{N}$) has generating rank ${2n\choose k}$ when $\mathbb{F}\ne \mathbb{F}_4$. We…
We construct a family of compactifications of the affine cone of the Grassmannian variety of 2-planes. We show that both the tropical variety of the Pl\"ucker ideal and familiar valuations associated to the construction of Newton-Okounkov…
We describe a curious structure of the special orthogonal, special unitary, and symplectic groups that has not been observed, namely, they can be expressed as matrix products of their corresponding Grassmannians realized as involution…
Regarding the adjacency matrices of n-vertex graphs and related graph Laplacian, we introduce two families of discrete matrix models constructed both with the help of the Erdos-Renyi ensemble of random graphs. Corresponding matrix sums…
For a sufficiently nice 2 dimensional shape, we define its approximating matrix (or patterned matrix) as a random matrix with iid entries arranged according to a given pattern. For large approximating matrices, we observe that the…
We introduce a class of equivariant vector bundles on isotropic symplectic Grassmannians $\mathrm{IGr}(k,2n)$ defined as appropriate truncations of staircase complexes and show that these bundles can be assembled into a number of complexes…
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…
We study super cluster algebra structure arising in examples provided by super Pl\"{u}cker and super Ptolemy relations. We develop the super cluster structure of the super Grassmannians $\Gr_{2|0}(n|1)$ for arbitrary $n$, which was…
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 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…
Skew shaped positroids (or skew shaped positroid varieties) are certain Richardson varieties in the flag variety that admit a realization as explicit subvarieties of the Grassmannian $\mathrm{Gr}(k,n)$. They are parametrized by a pair of…
The quaternionic Grassmannian HGr(r,n) is the affine open subscheme of the ordinary Grassmannian parametrizing those 2r-dimensional subspaces of a 2n-dimensional symplectic vector space on which the symplectic form is nondegenerate. In…
We generalize the prior linked symplectic Grassmannian construction, applying it to to prove smoothing results for rank-2 limit linear series with fixed special determinant on chains of curves. We apply this general machinery to prove new…
It is well known that the Pl\"ucker ideal defining the Grassmannian is generated by quadratic Pl\"ucker relations. These relations form a reverse lexicographic Gr\"obner basis and endow the Pl\"ucker algebra with the structure of an algebra…
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…
