A geometric interpretation of an equality by Sylvester

From MaRDI portal





The author computes the number of points, in the Galois field \(GF(q)\) with \(q\) elements, of the Grassmann variety of \(d\)-planes in projective \(n\)-space, and all its Schubert subvarieties, all defined over \(GF(q)\). He observes in the case of Grassmann manifolds that the formula he obtains is the same as the one given by Sylvester for Gauss polynomials.
