On infinite-dimensional Grassmannians and their quantum deformations (Q2504915)

Summary: An algebraic approach is developed to define and study infinite-dimensional Grassmannians. Using this approach, a quantum deformation (i.e. a deformation of the coordinate ring) is obtained for both the ind-variety union of all finite-dimensional Grassmannians \(G_{\infty}\), and the Sato Grassmannian \(\widetilde{UGM}\) introduced by Sato. They are both quantized as homogeneous spaces, that is together with a coaction of a quantum infinite dimensional group. At the end, an infinite-dimensional version of the first theorem of invariant theory is discussed for both the infinite-dimensional special linear group and its quantization.
