Covariant Poisson structures on complex Grassmannians (Q851499): Difference between revisions

Starting with the standard multiplicative Poisson tensor on the group \(SU(n)\) and its coisotropic subgroups conjugated to \(S(U(n-m)\times U(m))\), the authors obtain Poisson structures \(\tau_c\) on the complex Grassmannians \(G^n_m(\mathbb C)\), indexed by \(c\in[0,1]\). They prove that the Poisson pencil generated by the unique (up to a constant) SU\((n)\)-invariant Poisson structure on \(G^n_m(\mathbb C)\), together with any \(\tau_c\), covers all SU\((n)\)-covariant Poisson structures on \(G^n_m(\mathbb C)\). The latter means that the SU\((n)\)-action SU\((n)\times G^n_m(\mathbb C)\rightarrow G^n_m(\mathbb C)\) is a Poisson map with respect to the product Poisson structure on the left. Properties of the Poisson quotients are then used to describe certain Poisson embeddings of standard Poisson-Stiefel manifolds in the non-standard Poisson Grassmannians. A particular example is an embedding of Poisson-Lie group \(U(m)\) into \(G^{2m}_m(\mathbb C)\).
