Abstract
In this exposition, we will give a comprehensive report on some of the important highlights in the early phase of “standard monomial theory” (SMT) and its first applications as developed by Seshadri (with Musili, Lakshmibai and Littelmann) (built on the ideas of Hodge’s enumerative geometry, [22]). The later developments are given in [32] (appearing in this volume).
With gratseful homage to C.S. Seshadri, on his 70th birthday.
