Abstract: The linear spaces that are fixed by a given nilpotent $nimesn$ matrix form a subvariety of the Grassmannian. We classify these varieties for small $n$. Mutiah, Weekes and Yacobi conjectured that their radical ideals are generated by certain linear forms known as shuffle equations. We prove this conjecture for $nleq7$, and we disprove it for $n=8$. The question remains open for nilpotent matrices arising from the affine Grassmannian.
