Relation between $3$-term Plücker relations and more than $3$-term Plücker relations

$\DeclareMathOperator\Gr{Gr}$Let $\Gr(k,n)$ be the Grassmannian variety of $k$-planes in an $n$-dimensional vector space. The coordinate algebra $\mathbb{C}[\Gr(k,n)]$ is generated by Plücker ...

What's known about the matroid induced by the Plücker coordinates of the representation of a matroid?

Let $M$ be a linear matroid with ground set $E$ and independent subsets $\mathcal I$, represented by $\rho: E \rightarrow V$. This induces a map $$ \hat\rho: \mathcal I \rightarrow \mathbf P(\Lambda V)...

Cyclic shift acting on finite Grassmannian

The (twisted) cyclic shift $(v_1,v_2,\ldots,v_n) \mapsto (v_2,v_3,\ldots,v_n,(-1)^{k-1}v_1)$ acting on the Grassmannian $\mathrm{Gr}(\mathbb{C};k,n)$ of $k$-planes in $\mathbb{C}^n$ is an important ...

Is there a lift of the q-Vandermonde identity to some geometric (motivic) identity for Grassmannians over $F_q$?

The q-Vandermonde identity reads: $$ \binom{m + n}{k}_{\!\!q} =\sum_{j} \binom{m}{k - j}_{\!\!q} \binom{n}{j}_{\!\!q} q^{j(m-k+j)} $$ The q-binomial coefficients: $$ \binom{ a }{ b}_{\!\!q} $$ ...

Quotients of Grassmannians

Let $G=SL_n(\mathbb C)$ and $T$ be a maximal torus. Then the Grassmannians $Gr(r,n)$ and $G(n-r,n)$ are isomorphic. Now for the left action of the torus on each of them can we say that the GIT ...

Tropicalization of the Grassmannian

Let $Trop(Gr(m,n))$ denote the tropicalization of the grassmannian $Gr(n,m)$. Let $\phi^m : \mathbb R^{n \choose 2} \rightarrow \mathbb R^{n \choose m}$ such that $X_{i,j} \rightarrow X_{i_1,...,i_m}$...

Embedding $G(2,n)$ into $G(k,n)$

Let $$M=\begin{pmatrix} u_1 & u_2 & \ldots & u_n \\ v_1 & v_2 & \ldots & v_n \\ \end{pmatrix}$$ be a $2 \times n$ matrix. Define $\nu(M)$ to be the $k \times n$ matrix $$\nu(M)...

On the cohomology ring of the Grassmannian

The basis of Schubert classes for the cohomology ring $H^*(\text{Gr}(m,N))$ of the Grassmannian of $m$-dimensional subspaces of $\mathbb{C}^N$ is indexed by $L(m,N-m)$, the poset of all partitions ...
