Grassmann variables on quantum spaces

Surjective Isometries on Grassmann Spaces

Let H be a complex Hilbert space, n a given positive integer and let Pn(H) be the set of all projections on H with rank n. Under the condition dimH ≥ 4n, we describe the surjective isometries of Pn(H) with respect to the gap metric (the metric induced by the operator norm).

Supersymmetry without Grassmann variables

Supersymmetry transformations may be represented by unitary operators in a formulation of supersymmetry without numbers that anti-commute. The physical relevance of this formulation hinges on whether or not one may add states of even and odd fermion number, a question which soon may be settled by experiment.

Transformations of Grassmann spaces

This is a current version of a part of the book “Transformations of Grassmann spaces”. We study transformations of Grassmann spaces preserving certain geometrical constructions (related with buildings). The next part will be devoted to Grassmann spaces associated with polar spaces.

Transformations on the Product of Grassmann Spaces

Let Gk denote the set of all k-dimensional subspaces of an n-dimensional vector space. We recall that two elements of Gk are called adjacent if their intersection has dimension k − 1. The set Gk is point set of a partial linear space, namely a Grassmann space for 1 < k < n − 1 (see Section 5) and a projective space for k ∈ {1, n − 1}. Two adjacent subspaces are—in the language of partial linear...
