The totally nonnegative Grassmannian $\mathrm{Gr}(k,n)_{\geq0}$ is the subset of the real Grassmannian $\mathrm{Gr}(k,n)$ consisting of points with all nonnegative Pl\"ucker coordinates. The circular Bruhat order is a poset isomorphic to…

In this paper we consider orthogonal geometry of the free $\protect\ZZ$-module $K_0(\protect\PP_n)$ with respect to the non-symmetric unimodular bilinear form $$\chi(E,F)=\sum (-1)^\nu\dim\ext^\nu(E,F). $$ We calculate the isometry group of…

The (tree) amplituhedron A(n,k,m) is the image in the Grassmannian Gr(k,k+m) of the totally nonnegative part of Gr(k,n), under a (map induced by a) linear map which is totally positive. It was introduced by Arkani-Hamed and Trnka in 2013 in…

Scattering amplitudes in planar $\mathcal{N}=4$ super Yang-Mills theory exhibit singularities which reflect various aspects of the cluster algebras associated to the Grassmannians ${\rm Gr}(4,n)$ and their tropical counterparts. Here we…

Let M_{P^k}(P^r, d) be the moduli space of unparameterized maps \mu:P^k -> P^r satisfying \mu^*(O(1))= O(d). M_{P^k}(P^r,d) is a quasi-projective variety, and, in case k=1, M_{P^1}(P^r,d) is the fundamental open cell of Kontsevich's space…

Let $\mbox{IG}:=\mbox{IG}(2,2n+1)$ denote the odd symplectic Grassmannian of lines which is a horospherical variety of Picard rank 1. The quantum cohomology ring $\mbox{QH}^*(\mbox{IG})$ has negative structure constants. For $n \geq 3$, we…

In quantum field theory study, Grassmannian manifolds $\text{Gr}(4,n)$ are closely related to $D{=}4$ kinematics input for $n$-particle scattering processes, whose combinatorial and geometrical structures have been widely applied in…

We show that unconstrained quadratic optimization over a Grassmannian $\operatorname{Gr}(k,n)$ is NP-hard. Our results cover all scenarios: (i) when $k$ and $n$ are both allowed to grow; (ii) when $k$ is arbitrary but fixed; (iii) when $k$…

We describe recent work on positive descriptions of the structure constants of the cohomology of homogeneous spaces such as the Grassmannian, by degenerations and related methods. We give various extensions of these rules, some new and…

There are two widely used models for the Grassmannian $\operatorname{Gr}(k,n)$, as the set of equivalence classes of orthogonal matrices $\operatorname{O}(n)/(\operatorname{O}(k) \times \operatorname{O}(n-k))$, and as the set of trace-$k$…
