Motivation for Grassmannian variety

400 Views Asked by At

I need some information about the Grassmanian variety for my final project in algebraic geometry course that I am taking.

My questions are:

  • Why do we define the Grassmannian variety?
  • Do we use the Grassmannian variety for the construction of some other notions in algebraic geometry, if we do what are they?
  • How we can go further by using the Grassmannian variety?
