Abstract
We initiate the study of average intersection theory in real Grassmannians.
We define the expected degree
edeg
G
(
k
,
n
)
{\operatorname{edeg}G(k,n)}
of the real Grassmannian
G
(
k
,
n
)
{G(k,n)}
as the average number of real k-planes meeting nontrivially
k
(
n
-
k
)
{k(n-k)}
random subspaces of
ℝ
n
{\mathbb{R}^{n}}
,
all of dimension
n
-
k
{n-k}
, where these subspaces are sampled uniformly and independently from
G
(
n
-
k
,
n
)
{G(n-k,n)}
.
We express
edeg
G
(
k
,
n
)
{\operatorname{edeg}G(k,n)}
in terms of
the volume of an invariant convex body
in the tangent space to the Grassmannian,
and prove that for fixed
k
≥
2
{k\geq 2}
and
n
→
∞
{n\to\infty}
,
edeg

\operatorname{edeg}G(k,n)=\deg G_{\mathbb{C}}(k,n)^{\frac{1}{2}\varepsilon_{k}%
+o(1)},
where
deg
G
ℂ
(
k
,
n
)
{\deg G_{\mathbb{C}}(k,n)}
denotes the degree of the corresponding complex Grassmannian
and
ε
k
{\varepsilon_{k}}
is monotonically decreasing with
lim
k
→

ε
k
=

{\lim_{k\to\infty}\varepsilon_{k}=1}
.
In the case of the Grassmannian of lines, we prove the finer asymptotic

\operatorname{edeg}G(2,n+1)=\frac{8}{3\pi^{5/2}\sqrt{n}}\biggl{(}\frac{\pi^{2}%
}{4}\biggr{)}^{n}(1+\mathcal{O}(n^{-1})).
The expected degree
turns out to be the key quantity governing questions of the random enumerative geometry of flats.
We associate with a semialgebraic set
X
⊆
ℝ

{X\subseteq\mathbb{R}\mathrm{P}^{n-1}}

k

Z
(
X
)
⊆
G
(
k
,
n
)
{Z(X)\subseteq G(k,n)}
,
consisting of the k-planes A in
ℝ
n
{\mathbb{R}^{n}}
whose projectivization intersects X.
Denoting

{N:=k(n-k)}
