Title Degenerations of flag varieties and subdivisions of generalized permutahedra

We study the initial degenerations of the type-A flag varieties, and show how they are related to flag matroid strata and subdivisions of flag matroid polytopes. As applications, we give a complete proof of a conjecture of Keel and Tevelev on log canonical compactifications of moduli spaces of hyperplanes in projective space in general position, and study the Chow quotient of the complete flag variety by the diagonal torus of the projective linear group. This is based on joint work with Olarte and Luber.
