review text: The authors study the class of admissible linear embeddings of flag varieties in the context of algebraic geometry. They prove that an admissible linear embedding of flag varieties has a certain explicit form in terms of linear algebra, showing that any direct limit of admissible embeddings of flag varieties is isomorphic to an ind-variety of generalized flags. That is, generalized flags in a countable-dimensional vector space are in a natural one-to-one correspondence with splitting parabolic subgroups \(\mathsf{P}\) of the ind-group \(\mathsf{GL}(\infty)\), and hence the points of homogeneous ind-spaces of the form \(\mathsf{GL}(\infty)/\mathsf{P}\) can be thought of as generalized flags. Ind-varieties are discussed as the ind-group \(\mathsf{SL}(\infty)\), respectively, \(\mathsf{O}(\infty)\) or \(\mathsf{Sp}(\infty)\) for isotropic generalized flags, where the authors construct them in purely algebro-geometric terms.
