This will give a\ndecomposition of the Grassmannian Gr(k\,n)\, of k-planes in n-space\,\ninto pieces indexed by j uggling patterns. I'll explain how this\n\"positroid decomposition\" arise s in (1) the very classical theory of\n\"totally positive (real) matrices\ " (2) the characteristic p theory of\n\"Frobenius splitting\" and (3) Pois son geometry.\n\n \n\n \n DTSTAMP:20250922T170638Z END:VEVENT END:VCALENDAR
