plueckerAlgebra -- Pluecker algebra of a (partial) flag variety

Synopsis

Description

The Pluecker algebra for the Grassmannian is generated by the maximal minors of a generic $k \times n$ matrix of variables. Similarly, for a partial flag variety, the Pluecker algebra is generated by a collection of top-justified minors of a generic matrix of variables.

A matching field specifies a weight order on the ambient ring containing the Pluecker algebra.

i1 : L = diagonalMatchingField(2, 4)

o1 = Grassmannian Matching Field for Gr(2, 4)

o1 : GrMatchingField
i2 : S = plueckerAlgebra L

o2 = QQ[p_0..p_5], subring of QQ[x_(1,1)..x_(2,4)]

o2 : Subring
i3 : transpose gens S

o3 = {-2} | x_(1,1)x_(2,2)-x_(1,2)x_(2,1) |
     {-2} | x_(1,1)x_(2,3)-x_(1,3)x_(2,1) |
