Abstract

This book is an expanded version of a series of lectures given by V. Lakshmibai on Grassmannian varieties at the workshop on “Geometric Representation Theory” held at the Institut Teknologi Bandung, Bandung, Indonesia, in August 2011. In this book, we have attempted to give a complete, comprehensive, and self-contained account of Grassmannian varieties and the Schubert varieties (inside a Grassmannian variety).
