For flag varieties of conse cutive rank\, this equals the subset of the flag variety with positive Plü cker coordinates\, yielding a straightforward condition to determine wheth er a flag is totally positive. This generalizes the well-established fact\ , proven independently by many authors including Rietsch\, Talaska and Wil liams\, Lam\, and Lusztig\, that the totally positive Grassmannian equals the subset of the Grassmannian with positive Plücker coordinates. We discu ss the 'tropicalization' of this result\, relating the nonnegative tropica l flag variety to the nonnegative Dressian\, a space parameterizing the re gular subdivisions of flag positroid polytopes into flag positroid polytop es. Many results can be generalized to flag varieties of types B and C. Th is talk is primarily based on joint work with Chris Eur and Lauren William s and joint work with Grant Barkley\, Chris Eur and Johnny Gao.\n\nLocatio n: UQAM PK-5675\n DTSTART:20250326T180000Z DTEND:20250326T190000Z SUMMARY:Jonathan Boretsky (ºÃÉ«TV) URL:/mathstat/channels/event/jonathan-boretsky-mcgill- university-364463 END:VEVENT END:VCALENDAR
