Abstract.
Some equivariant compactifications of the quotients PGL r n +1/PGL r are constructed. Each one is decomposed into locally closed strata which are smooth, are indexed by the entire convex pavings of the simplex of dimension n and admit a modular interpretation deduced from that of the Grassmann varieties. Together, they form a simplicial scheme which “compactifies” the classifying simplicial scheme of PGL r consisting of all the quotients PGL r n +1/PGL r , n≥0.
