Abstract: This is a review of results on the structure of the homogeneous ind-varieties $G/P$ of the ind-groups $G=mathrm{GL}_{infty}(mathbbC)$, $mathrm{SL}_{infty}(mathbbC)$, $mathrm{SO}_{infty}(mathbbC)$, $mathrm{Sp}_{infty}(mathbbC)$, subject to the condition that $G/P$ is a inductive limit of compact homogeneous spaces $G_n/P_n$. In this case the subgroup $PsubsetG$ is a splitting parabolic subgroup of $G$, and the ind-variety $G/P$ admits a "flag realization". Instead of ordinary flags, one considers generalized flags which are, generally infinite, chains $mathcalC$ of subspaces in the natural representation $V$ of $G$ which satisfy a certain condition: roughly speaking, for each nonzero vector $v$ of $V$ there must be a largest space in $mathcalC$ which does not contain $v$, and a smallest space in $mathcalC$ which contains $v$. We start with a review of the construction of the ind-varieties of generalized flags, and then show that these ind-varieties are homogeneous ind-spaces of the form $G/P$ for splitting parabolic ind-subgroups $PsubsetG$. We also briefly review the characterization of more general, i.e. non-splitting, parabolic ind-subgroups in terms of generalized flags. In the special case of an ind-grassmannian $X$, we give a purely algebraic-geometric construction of $X$. Further topics discussed are the Bott--Borel--Weil Theorem for ind-varieties of generalized flags, finite-rank vector bundles on ind-varieties of generalized flags, the theory of Schubert decomposition of $G/P$ for arbitrary splitting parabolic ind-subgroups $PsubsetG$, as well as the orbits of real forms on $G/P$ for $G=mathrm{SL}_{infty}(mathbbC)$.
