Positive Tropical Flags and the Positive Tropical Dressian
Abstract.
We study the totally non-negative part of the complete flag variety and of its tropicalization. We start by showing that Lusztig's notion of non-negative complete flag variety coincides with the flags in the complete flag variety which have non-negative Plücker coordinates. This mirrors the characterization of the totally non-negative Grassmannian as those points in the Grassmannian with all non-negative Plücker coordinates. We then study the tropical complete flag variety and complete flag Dressian, which are two tropical versions of the complete flag variety, capturing realizable and abstract flags of tropical linear spaces, respectively. The complete flag Dressian properly contains the tropical complete flag variety. However, we show that the totally non-negative parts of these spaces coincide.
