Abstract:

Curves in Grassmannians are analyzed using the special structure of the tangent bundle of a Grassmannian, resulting in a theory of inflections or Weierstrass behavior. A duality theorem is established, generalizing the classical duality theorem for projective plane curves. The appendices summarize basic information about principal parts bundles and their application to studying the inflections of curves in projective space.
