PGL orbits in tree varieties

In this paper, we introduce tree varieties as a natural generalization of products of partial flag varieties. We study orbits of the PGL action on tree varieties. We characterize tree varieties with finitely many PGL orbits, generalizing a celebrated theorem of Magyar, Weyman and Zelevinsky. We give criteria that guarantee that a tree variety has a dense PGL orbit and provide many examples of tree varieties that do not have dense PGL orbits. We show that a triple of two-step flag varieties $F(k_1,k_2;n{)}^3$ has a dense PGL orbit if and only if $k_1+k_2≠n$.
