Torus quotients of homogeneous spaces of the general linear group and the standard representation of certain symmetric groups (Q839972)

Let \(k\) be an algebraically closed field. Let \(T\) be the subgroup of diagonal matrices in \(\text{SL}_n(k)\) and let \(N\) be the normaliser of \(T\) in \(\text{SL}_n(k)\). Let \(G_{2,n}\) be the Grassmannian of \(2\)-dimensional subspaces of an \(n\)-dimensional vector space over \(k\). The authors give a stratification of the GIT quotient of \(G_{2,n}\) by \(N\) with respect to the ample generator of the Picard group of \(G_{2,n}\). Furthermore they show that the flag variety \(\text{GL}_n(k)/B_n(k)\) (\(B_n(k)\) consists of the upper triangular matrices in \(\text{GL}_n(k)\)) can be obtained as a GIT quotient of \(\text{GL}_{n+1}(k)/B_{n+1}(k)\) by \(T\) with respect to a suitable choice of ample line bundle on \(\text{GL}_{n+1}(k)/B_{n+1}(k)\). It seems that both results are obtained under the assumption on \(k\) made in Section~2, namely that the characteristic of \(k\) is either \(0\) or bigger than \(n\). Reviewer's remark: The statement about the Weyl group action in Corollary~5.4 is not clear to the present reviewer.
