Abstract

Projective embedding of an isotropic Grassmannian OGr+(5, 10) into projective space of spinor representation S can be characterized with a help of γ-matrices by equations γαβiλαλβ=0. A polynomial function of degree N with values in S defines a map to OGr+(5, 10) if its coefficients satisfy a 2N+1 quadratic equations. Algebra generated by coefficients of such polynomials is a coordinate ring of the quantum isotropic Grassmannian. We show that this ring is based on a lattice; its defining relations satisfy straightened law. This enables us to compute the Poincaré series of the ring.
