Triangulations of Grassmannians and flag manifolds

Abstract: MacPherson conjectured that the Grassmannian

m a t h r m G r (2, m a t h b b R^{n})

has the same homeomorphism type as the combinatorial Grassmannian

| m b o x M a c P (2, n) |

, while Babson proved that the spaces

m a t h r m G r (2, m a t h b b R^{n})

and

m a t h r m G r (1, 2, m a t h b b R^{n})

are homotopy equivalent to their combinatorial analogs

| m a t h r m M a c P (2, n) |

and

| m b o x M a c P (1, 2, n) |

respectively. We will prove that

m a t h r m G r (2, m a t h b b R^{n})

and

m a t h r m G r (1, 2, m a t h b b R^{n})

are homeomorphic to

| m b o x M a c P (2, n) |

and

| m b o x M a c P (1, 2, n) |

respectively.
