Abstract

Let A be a local commutative principal ideal ring. We study the double coset space of GL n (A) with respect to the subgroup of upper triangular matrices. Geometrically, these cosets describe the relative position of two full flags of free primitive submodules of A n . We introduce some invariants of the double cosets. If k is the length of the ring, we determine for which of the pairs (n,k) the double coset space depends on the ring in question. For n = 3, we give a complete parametrisation of the double coset space and provide estimates on the rate of growth of the number of double cosets.
