From brick manifolds to Grassmannians of bimodules

Evgeny Feigin and Markus Reineke

Vol. 344 (2026), No. 1, 183–200
Abstract

We study a class of Grassmannians of subbimodules over the path algebras of quivers. Our quiver Grassmannians include Escobar’s brick manifolds as well as Labelle’s generalizations. We give an explicit construction of the varieties in question, provide examples and clarify the connection with the quiver representation spaces. We also prove smoothness of our Grassmannians, construct cellular decompositions and derive a realization as framed moduli spaces. The framed moduli realization leads to a recursive formula for the motives.
