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-$k$…

We rederive in a simplified version the Lehmann-Sommers eigenvalue distribution for the Gaussian ensemble of asymmetric real matrices, invariant under real orthogonal transformations, as a basis for a detailed derivation of a Pfaffian…

Let X be a symplectic or odd orthogonal Grassmannian which parametrizes isotropic subspaces in a vector space equipped with a nondegenerate (skew) symmetric form. We prove quantum Giambelli formulas which express an arbitrary Schubert class…

The degree of the Grassmannian with respect to the Pl\"ucker embedding is well-known. However, the Pl\"ucker embedding, while ubiquitous in pure mathematics, is almost never used in applied mathematics. In applied mathematics, the…

For a curve $\boldsymbol{\gamma}:I\to\mathbb{R}^n$ of order $n-1$, we prove that the generalized curvatures $\kappa_1, \ldots, \kappa_{n-1}$ can be expressed in terms of the leading principal minors of the matrix…

We study Gauss curvature for random Riemannian metrics on a compact surface, lying in a fixed conformal class; our questions are motivated by comparison geometry. Next, analogous questions are considered for the scalar curvature in…

The Covariant Canonical Gauge theory of Gravity is generalized by including at the Lagrangian level all possible quadratic curvature invariants. In this approach, the covariant Hamiltonian principle and the canonical transformation…

The curvature tensor and the scalar curvature are computed in the space of positive definite real matrices endowed by the Kubo-Mori inner product as a Riemannian metric.

We prove that many aspects of the differential geometry of embedded Riemannian manifolds can be formulated in terms of multi linear algebraic structures on the space of smooth functions. In particular, we find algebraic expressions for…

Using Gauss's square-roots of the metric components, the diagonal Riemann tensor components for diagonal metrics are calculated. The result is a form which makes their source in the metric directly intuitive and displays an intriguing…

Let $V$ be a finite-dimensional unitary representation of a compact quantum group $\mathrm{G}$ and denote by $\mathrm{G}_W$ the isotropy subgroup of a linear subspace $W\le V$ regarded as a point in the Grassmannian $\mathbb{G}(V)$. We show…

We use isomorphism $\varphi$ between matrix algebras and simple orthogonal Clifford algebras $\cl(Q)$ to compute matrix exponential ${e}^{A}$ of a real, complex, and quaternionic matrix A. The isomorphic image $p=\varphi(A)$ in $\cl(Q),$…

A dual formulation of the S Matrix for N=4 SYM has recently been presented, where all leading singularities of n-particle N^{k-2}MHV amplitudes are given as an integral over the Grassmannian G(k,n), with cyclic symmetry, parity and…

We derive three families of orthogonally-equivariant matrix submanifold models for the Grassmann, flag, and Stiefel manifolds respectively. These families are exhaustive -- every orthogonally-equivariant submanifold model of the lowest…

The square of a skew-symmetric matrix is a symmetric matrix whose eigenvalues have even multiplicities. When the matrices have rank two, they represent the Grassmannian of lines, and the squaring operation takes Pl\"ucker coordinates to…

We study the geometrical meaning of higher-order terms in matrix models of Yang-Mills type in the semi-classical limit, generalizing recent results arXiv:1003.4132 to the case of 4-dimensional space-time geometries with general Poisson…

Using connections to random matrix theory and orthogonal polynomials, we develop a framework for obtaining explicit closed-form formulae for the number, $\mathscr{N}_{g}(2\nu,j)$, of connected $2\nu$-valent labeled graphs with $j$ vertices…

This article presents a formula for products of Schubert classes in the quantum cohomology ring of the Grassmannian. We introduce a generalization of Schur symmetric polynomials for shapes that are naturally embedded in a torus. Then we…

In this article, we shall derive by elementary calculations the Gauss map, spherical image, Weingarten map and the curvatures at identity of the special linear group, that is, the matrices of determinant 1. We could not find any reference…

We establish extremality of Riemannian metrics g with non-negative curvature operator on symmetric spaces M=G/K of compact type with rk(G)-rk(K)\le 1. Let g' be another metric with scalar curvature k', such that g'\ge g on 2-vectors. We…
