The goal of the paper is twofold: on one side it provides an order structure on the set of all maximal chains in the Bruhat poset of Schubert varieties in a Grassmann variety; on the other hand, using this order structure, it works out…
Grassmann tensors arise from classical problems of scene reconstruction in computer vision. In particular, bifocal Grassmann tensors, related to a pair of projections from a projective space onto view-spaces of varying dimensions,…
We generalize Zak's theorems on tangencies and on linear normality as well as Zak's definition and classification of Severi varieties. In particular we find sharp lower bounds for the dimension of higher secant varieties of a given variety…
A new generalization of Grassmannians, called {\nu}-grassmannians, and a canonical super vector bundle over this new space, say {\Gamma}, are introduced. Then, constructing a Gauss supermap of a super vector bundle, the universal property…
In this paper we consider the variational approach to cactus trees (Husimi trees) and the more common recursive approach, that are in principle equivalent for finite systems. We discuss in detail the conditions under which the two methods…
We give a representation of canonical vector bundles over Grassmannian manifolds as non-compact affine symmetric spaces as well as their Cartan model in the group of the Euclidean motions.
A theorem of the first author states that the cotangent bundle of the type $A$ Grassmannian variety can be embedded as an open subset of a smooth Schubert variety in a two-step affine partial flag variety. We extend this result to cotangent…
Cominuscule flag varieties generalize Grassmannians to other Lie types. Schubert varieties in cominuscule flag varieties are indexed by posets of roots labeled long/short. These labeled posets generalize Young diagrams. We prove that…
We answer some questions related to multiplicity formulas by Rosenthal and Zelevinsky and by Lakshmibai and Weyman for points on Schubert varieties in Grassmannians. In particular, we give combinatorial interpretations in terms of…
For an arbitrary field of any characteristic we give an explicit description, in terms of Pl\"ucker coordinates, of the projective linear space that cuts out the Lagrangian-Grassmannian variety $L(n,2n)$ of maximal isotropic subspaces in a…
Let $X$ be a smooth irreducible nondegenerate projective variety and let $X^*$ denote its dual variety. It is well known that $\sigma_2(X)^*$, the dual of the 2-secant variety of $X$, is a component of the singular locus of $X^*$. The locus…
Grassmannian $\mathcal{G}_q(n,k)$ is the set of all $k$-dimensional subspaces of the vector space $\mathbb{F}_q^n.$ Recently, Etzion and Zhang introduced a new notion called covering Grassmannian code which can be used in network coding…
A permutation is called Grassmannian if it has at most one descent. In this paper, we investigate pattern avoidance and parity restrictions for such permutations. As our main result, we derive formulas for the enumeration of Grassmannian…
The aim of this paper is to study codimension one foliations on rational homogeneous spaces, with a focus on the moduli space of foliations of low degree on Grassmannians and cominuscule spaces. Using equivariant techniques, we show that…
We introduce a notion of regularity for coherent sheaves on Grassmannians of lines. We use this notion to prove some extension of Evans-Griffith criterion to characterize direct sums of line bundles. We also give a cohomological…
Let $Gr(k,n)$ be the Pl\"ucker embedding of the Grassmann variety of projective $k$-planes in $\P n$. For a projective variety $X$, let $\sigma_s(X)$ denote the variety of its $s-1$ secant planes. More precisely, $\sigma_s(X)$ denotes the…
We review and study the notion of Higgs Grassmannians, which are schemes parametrizing the Higgs subbundles of a given Higgs bundle over a smooth variety. We write their equations as closed subschemes of the usual Grassmann bundles and…
To each subvariety $X$ in projective $n$-space of codimension $m$ we associate an integer sequence of length $m + 1$ from $1$ to the degree of $X$ recording the maximal cardinalities of finite, reduced intersections of $X$ with linear…
We consider here the problem, which is quite classical in Algebraic geometry, of studying the secant varieties of a projective variety $X$. The case we concentrate on is when $X$ is a Veronese variety, a Grassmannian or a Segre variety. Not…
Phylogenetic networks are a generalization of evolutionary or phylogenetic trees that are commonly used to represent the evolution of species which cross with one another. A special type of phylogenetic network is an {\em $X$-cactus}, which…
