Grassmannians of 2-Sided Vector Spaces

Let k ? K be an extension of fields, and let A ? M _n (K) be a k-algebra. We study parameter spaces of m-dimensional subspaces of K ⁿ which are invariant under A. The space  _A (m, n), whose R-rational points are A-invariant, free rank m summands of R ⁿ , is well known. We construct a distinct parameter space,  _A (m, n), which is a fiber product of a Grassmannian and the projectivization of a vector space. We then study the intersection  _A (m, n) ∩  _A (m, n), which we denote by  _A (m, n). Under suitable hypotheses on A, we construct affine open subschemes of  _A (m, n) and  _A (m, n) which cover their K-rational points. We conclude by using  _A (m, n),  _A (m, n), and  _A (m, n) to construct parameter spaces of 2-sided subspaces of 2-sided vector spaces.
