A special case of a flag manifold. A Grassmann manifold is a certain collection of vector subspaces of a vector space. In particular, is the Grassmann manifold of
-dimensional subspaces of the vector
space
.
It has a natural manifold structure as an orbit-space
of the Stiefel manifold
of orthonormal
-frames in
. One of the main things about Grassmann manifolds is that
they are classifying spaces for vector bundles.
