Abstract: This work is motivated by the relation between the KP and BKP integrable hierarchies, whose $au$-functions may be viewed as sections of dual determinantal and Pfaffian line bundles over infinite dimensional Grassmannians. In finite dimensions, we show how to relate the Cartan map which, for a vector space $V$ of dimension $N$, embeds the Grassmannian ${mathrmGr}_V^0(V+V^{*})$ of maximal isotropic subspaces of $V+V^{*}$, with respect to the natural scalar product, into the projectivization of the exterior space $Lambda(V)$, and the Pl"ucker map, which embeds the Grassmannian ${mathrmGr}_V(V+V^{*})$ of all $N$-planes in $V+V^{*}$ into the projectivization of $Lambd{a}^N(V+V^{*})$. The Pl"ucker coordinates on ${mathrmGr}_V^0(V+V^{*})$ are expressed bilinearly in terms of the Cartan coordinates, which are holomorphic sections of the dual Pfaffian line bundle ${mathrmPf}^{*}ightarrow{mathrmGr}_V^0(V+V^{*},Q)$. In terms of affine coordinates on the big cell, this is equivalent to an identity of Cauchy-Binet type, expressing the determinants of square submatrices of a skew symmetric $NimesN$ matrix as bilinear sums over the Pfaffians of their principal minors.
