Abstract
We consider a central division algebra over a separable quadratic extension of a base field endowed with a unitary involution and prove 2-incompressibility of certain varieties of isotropic right ideals of the algebra. The remaining related projective homogeneous varieties are shown to be 2-compressible in general. Together with [17], where a similar issue for orthogonal and symplectic involutions has been treated, the present paper completes the study of Grassmannians of isotropic right ideals of division algebras.
