Kolloquium: Bernd Sturmfels (MPI-MiS Leipzig): The Two Lives of the Grassmannian“

The Two Lives of the Grassmannian – Vortragender: Bernd Sturmfels, Max-Planck-Institut für Mathematik in den Naturwissenschaften, Leipzig – Einladender: F. Knop

Abstract: The Grassmannian parametrizes linear subspaces of a real vector space. It is
both a projective variety (via Plücker coordinates) and an affine variety (via
orthogonal projections). We examine these two representations, through the
lenses of linear algebra, commutative algebra, and statistics.
