Double quotients for symmetry breaking
[ Abstract ]
The orbit structure in flag varieties encodes branching laws for real reductive groups. In this talk, we describe a family of double quotients which arise naturally in the context of symmetry breaking for the general linear group.

These spaces generalize certain classical quotients, a fundamental example being the one associated with Gaussian elimination and the Bruhat decomposition. In this setting, double cosets are described using natural invariants inspired by the ranks of submatrices in the classical case.
