Title: Projective Embeddings of Flag Varieties

Abstract: Having wrapped up the representation component, we will see how the Schur modules from Chapter 8 help us study flag varieties. To do this, we will study how Grassmannians embed into projective spaces via the Plucker embedding. We build up to the flag variety by studying the quadratics needed to embed Grassmannians, incidence varieties, and then the flag varieties.
