Nesting maps of Grassmannians
Let be a field and be the Grassmannian of -dimensional linear subspaces of . A map is called nesting if for every . Glover, Homer and Stong showed that there are no continuous nesting maps except for a few obvious ones. We prove a similar result for algebraic nesting maps , where is an algebraically closed field of arbitrary characteristic. For this yields a description of the algebraic sub-bundles of the tangent bundle to the projective space .
