Correspondence of Grassmannian cells












0












$begingroup$


I have shown that the correspondence $f: X rightarrow mathbb{R} oplus X$ defines an embedding of the Grassmannian $mathrm{Gr}_{k}(mathbb{R}^{n+k})$ into $mathrm{Gr}_{k+1}(mathbb{R} oplus mathbb{R}^{n+k})=mathrm{Gr}_{k+1}(mathbb{R}^{n+k+1})$. Indeed, this identifies an isomorphism that carries an $r$-cell of $mathrm{Gr}_{n}(mathbb{R}^{m})$ onto the $r$-cell of $mathrm{Gr}_{n+1}(mathbb{R}^{m+1})$ corresponding to the same partition. (This is Problem 6-C in Milnor- Stasheff).



From this, I wish to prove that $f$ takes the $left | underline{a} right |$-cell of $mathrm{Gr}_{k}(mathbb{R}^{n+k})$, which corresponds to the given Schubert symbol $underline{a}$, onto the $left | underline{a} right |$-cell of $mathrm{Gr}_{k+1}(mathbb{R}^{n+k+1})$, which corresponds to the same Schubert symbol $underline{a}$. How might this be done? Any help would be appreciated.

          First, for clarity, write $f(X) = mathbf{R}oplus X$.
          To talk of Schubert cells you must first fix an ordered basis (or a full flag, equivalently). Next you must think of a compatible full flags in $mathbf{R}^n$ and $mathbf{R}^{n+1}$, (this is implicit in your definition of $f$) then the correspondence in Schubert cells will follow.



          (Added for clarification)



          If $v_1,v_2,ldots,v_{n+k}$ is the ordered basis of $mathbf{R}^{n+k}$, take $v,v_1,v_2,ldots,v_{n+k}$ in that order as basis of $mathbf{R}^{n+k+1}$. So an element of Gr$_k(mathbf{R}^{n+k})$ along with $v$ generates a $k+1$-dim'l subspace, and that is your embedding. The tuple $a=(a_1,a_2,ldots, a_k)$ specifies where the dimension jumps occur for a k-dim'l space intersected with terms of full flag from the ordered basis (giving a Schubert cell). For a non-decreasing seq. of numbers with jumps at specified slots adding a constant to each term means jumps still occur at the same slots.
