In this tutorial, we provide an overview of many of the established combinatorial and algebraic tools of Schubert calculus, the modern area of enumerative geometry that encapsulates a wide variety of topics involving intersections of linear…

The ideals generated by pfaffians of mixed size contained in a subladder of a skew-symmetric matrix of indeterminates define arithmetically Cohen-Macaulay, projectively normal, reduced and irreducible projective varieties. We show that…

We explicitly construct the eigenfunctions of the Laplacian for the fuzzy Grassmannian spaces $Gr_{2;n}^F$. We calculate the spectrum and find it be a truncation of the continuum case. As a byproduct of our approach we find a novel…

Truncated Grassmannians are defined as closures of orbits of abelian unipotent groups acting on the degree truncations of projectivized wedge powers. We show that such truncations in a more general setup show up in the description of the…

Cactus varieties are a generalization of secant varieties. They are defined using linear spans of arbitrary finite schemes of bounded length, while secant varieties use only isolated reduced points. In particular, any secant variety is…

In this paper, we study the Grassmannian of n-dimensional subspaces of a 2n-dimensional vector space and its infinite-dimensional analogues. Such a Grassmannian can be endowed with two binary relations (adjacent and distant), with pencils…

In this {paper}, we consider holomorphic embeddings of $Gr(2,m)$ into $Gr(2,n)$. We study such embeddings by finding all possible total Chern classes of the pull-back of the universal bundles under these embeddings. Using the relations…

Let $\Gamma(n,k)$ be the Grassmann graph formed by the $k$-dimensional subspaces of a vector space of dimension $n$ over a field $\mathbb F$ and, for $t\in \mathbb{N}\setminus \{0\}$, let $\Delta_t(n,k)$ be the subgraph of $\Gamma(n,k)$…

This paper aims at generalizing some geometric properties of Grassmannians of finite dimensional vector spaces to the case of Grassmannnians of infinite dimensional ones, in particular for that of $k((z))$. It is shown that the Determinant…

We describe CW decompositions of complex Lagrangian Grassmannians, that contain as subcomplexes, CW decompositions of real Lagrangian Grassmannians by Schubert-Arnol'd cells. The degrees of attaching maps are explicitly computed in terms of…

Let X be a smooth projective variety of dimension n in P^r. We study the fibers of a general linear projection pi: X --> P^{n+c}, with c > 0. When n is small it is classical that the degree of any fiber is bounded by n/c+1, but this fails…

A new generalization of Grassmannians to supergeometry, different from the well known supergrassmannian, is introduced. These are constructed by gluing a finite number of copies of a \nu\- domain, i.e. a superdomain with an odd involution,…

Using Hilbert schemes of points, we establish a number of results for a smooth projective variety $X$ in a sufficiently ample embedding. If $X$ is a curve or a surface, we show that the ideals of higher secant varieties are determinantally…

The aim of this paper is to provide another perspective on secant varieties on algebraic curves by reformulating the problem in terms of refined de Jonqui\`eres divisors, that is divisors on the curve with prescribed multiplicities and…

We study the problem of characterizing linear preserver subgroups of algebraic varieties, with a particular emphasis on secant varieties and other varieties of tensors. We introduce a number of techniques built on different geometric…

We review the construction of Lagrangians for higher spin fields of mixed symmetry in the framework of graded geometry. The main advantage of the graded formalism in this context is that it provides universal expressions, in the sense that…

Metrics in Grassmannians, or distances between subspaces of same dimension, have many uses, and extending them to the Total Grassmannian of subspaces of different dimensions is an important problem, as usual extensions lack good properties…

We study a twisted version of Fraser, Lam, and Le's higher boundary measurement map, using face weights instead of edge weights, thereby providing Laurent polynomial expansions, in Pl\"ucker coordinates, for twisted web immanants for…

Twisted ind-Grassmannians are ind-varieties $\GG$ obtained as direct limits of Grassmannians $G(r_m,V^{r_m})$, for $m\in\ZZ_{>0}$, under embeddings $\phi_m:G(r_m,V^{r_m})\to G(r_{m+1}, V^{r_{m+1}})$ of degree greater than one. It has been…

Secant defectivity of projective varieties is classically approached via dimensions of linear systems with multiple base points in general position. The latter can be studied via degenerations. We exploit a technique that allows some of the…
