Abstract
We study projection determinantal point processes and their connection to the
squared Grassmannian. We prove that the log-likelihood function of this
statistical model has $(n - 1)!/2$ critical points, all of which are real and
positive, thereby settling a conjecture of Devriendt, Friedman, Reinke, and
Sturmfels.
