Furthermore, we find an initial degeneration that has two connected components, and show that the remaining initial degenerations, up to symmetry, are irreducible. As an application, we prove that the Chow quotient of $\\operatorname{Gr}(3,8)$ by the diagonal torus of $\\operatorname{PGL}(8)$ is the log canonical compactification of the moduli space of $8$ lines in $\\mathbb{P}^2$, resolving a conjecture of Hacking, Keel, and Tevelev. Along the way we develop various techniques to study finite inverse limits of schemes.","url_abs":"https://arxiv.org/abs/2206.14993v1","url_pdf":"https://arxiv.org/pdf/2206.14993v1.pdf","source":{"archive":"pwc-archive (Hugging Face), CC BY-SA 4.0","snapshot":"2025-07-28","licence_url":"https://creativecommons.org/licenses/by-sa/4.0/legalcode","row_kind":"links_only","authors_date_abstract":"arXiv metadata, CC0 1.0 (https://info.arxiv.org/help/license), from the Kaggle arXiv metadata snapshot of 2026-09-12"},"code_links":[{"paper_slug":"the-grassmannian-of-3-planes-in-mathbb-c-8-is","repo_url":"https://github.com/dcorey2814/gr38schoen","is_official":1,"mentioned_in_paper":1,"mentioned_in_github":1,"framework":"none","reach":null}],"tasks":[],"methods":[],"datasets_introduced":[],"methods_introduced":[],"results":[],"syntology":{"syntology_url":null,"atlas_url":null,"mcp":null,"developers":"https://syntology.ai/developers"},"arxiv_metadata":null,"syntology_extracted_results":null}
