Grassmannians are mathematical spaces that parameterize all possible k-dimensional subspaces of a vector space, typically denoted as $G(k, n)$ for k-dimensional subspaces of an n-dimensional space. They play a crucial role in various areas of mathematics, including topology and algebraic geometry, and serve as essential tools in understanding vector bundles and their relations to K-theory.
