The question is in the title. Fix a field $k$. Let $P_n$ be the poset of proper nonempty affine subspaces of $k^n$ under inclusion. The geometric realization $|P_n|$ is $n$-dimensional. Is it $(n-...

A theorem of Quillen says that if $G$ is a finite Chevalley group over characteristic $p$, then the poset $\mathcal{A}_p(G)$ of nontrivial elementary abelian subgroups of $G$ is homotopy equivalent (I ...

This is a question about the homology of a complex made of algebraic varieties. Consider the following subgroups of $\mathrm{SL}_3$ (defined over $\mathbb{Z}$). $$ P_{1,2} = \left\{\left(\begin{...

Let’s assume we are working on a smooth projective curve $X$. For any vector bundle $E$ on $X$, the poset of non-trivial proper sub-bundles of $E$ is in bijection with the poset of non-zero proper sub-...
