\begin{abstract}
Let $G_{n,2n}$ be the Grassmannian parameterizing the $n$-dimensional subspaces of $\mathbb{C}^{2n}$. The Picard group of $G_{n,2n}$ is generated by a unique ample line bundle $\mathcal{O}(1)$. Let $T$ be a maximal torus of $\mathrm{SL}(2n,\mathbb{C})$ which acts on $G_{n,2n}$ and $\mathcal{O}(1)$. By~\cite[Theorem~3.10, p.~764]{Kum}, $2$ is the minimal integer $k$ such that $\mathcal{O}(k)$ descends to the GIT quotient. In this article, we prove that the GIT quotient of $G_{n,2n}$ ($n\ge 3$) by $T$ with respect to $\mathcal{O}(2)=\mathcal{O}(1)^{\otimes 2}$ is not projectively normal when polarized with the descent of $\mathcal{O}(2)$.

\section{Introduction}\label{section1}
A polarized variety $(X, \mathcal L),$ where $\mathcal L$ is a very ample line bundle is said to be projectively normal if its homogeneous coordinate ring $\oplus_{m \in \mathbb Z_{\geq 0}}H^0(X, \mathcal L^{\otimes m})$ is integrally closed and it is generated as a $\mathbb{C}$-algebra by $H^0(X, \mathcal L)$ (see~\cite[Chapter~II, Exercise~5.14]{R}). For example, the projective line $(\mathbb{P}^1,\mathcal{O}(1))$ is projectively normal. However, if we consider the rational twisted quartic curve in $\mathbb{P}^{3},$ i.e., image $X=\{[a^4:a^3b:ab^3:b^4] \in \mathbb{P}^3 : [a:b] \in \mathbb{P}^1\}$ of the embedding $i:\mathbb{P}^{1}\hookrightarrow \mathbb{P}^{3}$ given by $[a: b]\mapsto [a^{4}:a^{3}b: ab^{3}: b^{4}],$ then $(X,\mathcal{O}_{X}(1))=(\mathbb{P}^1, \mathcal{O}(3))$ is normal but not projectively normal as the affine cone of $X$ inside $\mathbb{C}^{4}$ is not normal (see~\cite[Chapter~I, Exercise~3.18]{R}).

In~\cite{K1}, Kannan made an attempt to study projective normality of the GIT quotient of $G_{2,n}$ by a maximal torus $T$ of $\SL(n,\mathbb{ C})$ with respect to the descent of $\mathcal{O}(n)$ ($n$ is odd). There it was proved that the homogeneous coordinate ring of the GIT quotient of $G_{2,n}$ by $T$ with respect to the descent of $\mathcal{O}(n)$ is a finite module over the subring generated by the degree one elements. In~\cite{howard}, Howard et\,al. showed that the GIT quotient of $G_{2,n}$ by $T$ with respect to the descent of $\mathcal{O}(\frac{n}{2})$ (respectively, $\mathcal{O}(n)$) is projectively normal if $n$ is even (respectively, if $n$ is odd). In~\cite{NP}, Nayek et\,al. used graph theoretic techniques to give a short proof of the projective normality of the GIT quotient of $G_{2,n}$ by $T$ with respect to the descent of $\mathcal{O}(n)$ for any $n$.

To the best of our knowledge it is not known whether there is a suitable ample line bundle $\mathcal{L}$ on $G_{r,n}$ ($r\ge 3$) such that the GIT quotient of $G_{r,n}$ by $T$ with respect to the descent of the line bundle $\mathcal{L}$ is projectively normal (respectively, not projectively normal) with respect to the descent of $\mathcal{L}$.

In this article, we prove the following:

\begin{theo}\label{thm1}
The GIT quotient of $G_{n,2n}$ $(n \geq 3)$ by a maximal torus $T$ of $\SL(2n,\mathbb{ C})$ with respect to the descent of $\mathcal{O}(2)$ is not projectively normal (for more precise see \cref{corollary3.5}).
\end{theo}

The layout of the paper is as follows. In \cref{section2}, we recall some preliminaries on algebraic groups, Standard Monomial Theory and Geometric Invariant Theory. In \cref{section3}, we prove \cref{thm1} (see \cref{corollary3.5}).


\section{Notation and Preliminaries}\label{section2}

We refer to~\cite{Hum1, Hum2, LB, Mumford, New, Ses} for preliminaries in algebraic groups, Lie algebras, Standard Monomial Theory and Geometric Invariant Theory.

Let $V=\mathbb{C}^{2n}$ and $(e_{1},e_{2},\ldots,e_{2n})$ be the standard basis of $V$. For a fixed integer $r$ with $1\le r\le 2n-1,$ let $G_{r,2n}$ be the Grassmannian parameterizing the $r$-dimensional subspaces of $\mathbb{C}^{2n}$. Then there is a natural projective variety structure on $G_{r,2n}$ given by the Pl\"ucker embedding $\pi: G_{r,2n}\hookrightarrow \mathbb{P}(\wedge^{r}V)$ sending $r$-dimensional subspace to its $r$-th exterior power. The natural left action of $\SL(2n,\mathbb{ C})$ on $V$ induces an action of $\SL(2n,\mathbb{ C})$ on $\wedge^{r}V$ and thus on $\mathbb{P}(\wedge^{r}V),$ moreover, $\pi$ is $\SL(2n, \mathbb{C})$-equivariant. Let $T$ be the maximal torus of $\SL(2n,\mathbb{C})$ consisting of diagonal matrices. Let $\mathcal{O}(1)$ denote the hyperplane line bundle on $G_{r,2n}$ given by the Pl\"{u}cker embedding $\pi$. Note that $\mathcal{O}(1)$ is $\SL(2n, \mathbb{C})$-linearized, in particular, $T$-linearized.

Let $I(r,2n)$ denote the indexing set $\{\uni=(i_{1},i_{2},\ldots, i_{r})| i_{j}\in \mathbb{Z} \text{ and } 1\le i_{1}<i_{2}<\cdots <i_{r}\le 2n\}$. Let $e_{\uni}=e_{i_1} \wedge e_{i_2} \wedge \cdots \wedge e_{i_r}$ for $\uni=(i_1, i_2, \ldots, i_r) \in I(r,2n)$. Then $\{e_{\uni}: \uni \in I(r,2n)\}$ forms a basis of $\wedge^rV$. Let $\{p_{\uni}: \uni\in I(r,2n)\}$ be the basis of the dual space $(\wedge^{r}V)^{*},$ which is dual to $\{e_{\uni}: \uni \in I(r,2n)\},$ i.e., $p_{\unj}(e_{\uni})=\delta_{ij}$. Note that $p_{\uni}$'s are the $\uni^{\text{th}}$ Pl\"{u}cker coordinates of $G_{r,2n}$.

In $V,$ we fix a full flag $\{0\}=V_{0}\subset V_{1}\subset \cdots\subset V_{2n}=V$. For $w=(w_1,w_2,\ldots,w_r)$ in $I(r,2n),$ the Schubert variety in $G_{r,2n}$ associated to $w$ is denoted by $X(w)$ and is defined by
\[
X(w)=\left\{W\in G_{r, 2n}\,\middle|\,
\begin{aligned}
&\dim W\cap V_{j}\ge i, \text{ if } w_i\le j< w_{i+1},\\
&\text{ where } 1\le j\le 2n, 0\le i\le r \text{ and } w_{0}:=0,w_{r+1}:=2n
\end{aligned}\right\}.
\]


The definition of a Schubert variety $X(w)$ depends on the choice of a full flag. However, given any two full flags $\{0\}=V_{0}\subset V_{1}\subset \cdots\subset V_{2n}=V$ and $\{0\}=V'_{0}\subset V'_{1}\subset \cdots\subset V'_{2n}=V$ in $V,$ there exist an automorphism of $V$ which takes $V_i$ to $V'_{i},$ which shows that $X(w)$ is well defined up to an automorphism of $V$. We note that $X(w)$ is a closed subvariety of $G_{r,2n}$ of dimension $\sum_{i=1}^{r} w_{i}-\frac{r(r+1)}{2}$.

There is a natural partial order on $I(r,2n),$ given as follows: for $v=(v_{1},v_{2},\ldots, v_{r}),$ $w=(w_{1},w_{2},\ldots, w_{r}),$ $v\le w$ if and only if $v_{i} \leq w_{i}$ for all $1\le i\le r$. For $v, w \in I(r,2n),$ $X(v) \subseteq X(w)$ if and only if $v \leq w$. Further, $p_{v}|_{X(w)} \neq 0$ if and only if $v \leq w$.

For $w\in I(r,2n),$ we also denote the restriction of the line bundle $\mathcal{O}(1)$ on $G_{r,2n}$ to $X(w)$ by $\mathcal{O}(1)$. The monomial $p_{\tau_1}p_{\tau_2}\ldots p_{\tau_m} \in H^0(X(w),\mathcal{O}(m)),$ where $\tau_1, \tau_2, \ldots, \tau_m \in I(r,2n)$ is said to be standard monomial of degree $m$ if $\tau_1\leq \tau_2\leq \cdots \leq \tau_m \leq w$. The standard monomials of degree $m$ on $X(w)$ form a basis of $H^0(X(w),\mathcal{O}(m))$. The Grassmannian $G_{r,2n} \subseteq \mathbb{P}(\wedge^r V)$ is precisely the zero set of the following well known Pl\"{u}cker relations:
\begin{align}
\sum_{h=1}^{r+1}(-1)^h p_{i_1,i_2,\ldots,i_{r-1}j_h}p_{j_1,\ldots,\hat{j_h},\ldots,j_{r+1}}\label{2.1}
,
\end{align}
where $\{i_1,\ldots, i_{r-1}\},$ $\{j_1,\ldots,j_{r+1}\}$ are two subsets of $\{1,2,\ldots,2n\}$ and $\hat{j_{h}}$ means dropping the index~$j_{h}$.

A point $p \in X(w)$ is said to be semi-stable with respect to the $T$-linearized line bundle $\mathcal{O}(1)$ if there is a $T$-invariant section $s \in H^0(X(w),\mathcal{O}(m))$ for some positive integer $m$ such that $s(p)\neq 0$. We denote the set of all semi-stable points of $X(w)$ with respect to $\mathcal{O}(1)$ by $X(w)^{ss}_T(\mathcal{O}(1))$. A point $p$ in $X(w)^{ss}_{T}(\mathcal{O}(1))$ is said to be stable if the $T$-orbit of $p$ is closed in $X(w)^{ss}_{T}(\mathcal{O}(1))$ and the stabilizer of $p$ in $T$ is finite. We denote the set of all stable points of $X(w)$ with respect to $\mathcal{O}(1)$ by $X(w)^{s}_T(\mathcal{O}(1))$.

Let $B~(\supset T)$ be the Borel subgroup of $\SL(2n,\mathbb{ C})$ consisting of upper triangular matrices. For $1\le i\le 2n,$ define $\varepsilon_{i}:T\to \mathbb{C}^{\times}$ by $\varepsilon_{i}(\diag(t_{1},\ldots,t_{2n}))=t_{i}$. Then $S:=\{\alpha_i:=\varepsilon_{i}-\varepsilon_{i+1}| \text{ for all } 1\le i\le 2n-1\}$ forms the set of simple roots of $\SL(2n, \mathbb{C})$ with respect to $T$ and $B$. Let $\{\varpi_i| i= 1,2, \ldots, 2n-1\}$ be the set of fundamental dominant weights corresponding to $S$.

For $\lambda=m\varpi_r$ $(m \geq 1)$, we associate a Young diagram (denoted by $\Gamma$) with $\lambda_i$ number of boxes in the $i$-th column, where $\lambda_i:=m$ for $1 \leq i \leq r$. It is also called Young diagram of shape $\lambda$.A Young diagram $\Gamma$ associated to $\lambda$ is said to be a Young tableau if the diagram is filled with integers $1, 2, \ldots, 2n$. We also denote this Young tableau by $\Gamma$. A Young tableau is said to be standard if the entries along any column is non-decreasing from top to bottom and along any row is strictly increasing from left to right. Given a Young tableau $\Gamma$, let $\tau=\{i_1,i_2,\ldots,i_r\}$ be a typical row in $\Gamma$, where $1 \leq i_1 < \cdots < i_r \leq 2n$. To the row $\tau$, we associate the Pl\"{u}cker coordinate $p_{i_1,i_2, \ldots,i_r}$. We set $p_{\Gamma}=\prod_{\tau}p_{\tau}$, where the product is taken over all the rows of $\Gamma$. Note that for $w\in I(r,2n),$ $p_{\Gamma}$ is a standard monomial on $X(w)$ if $\Gamma$ is standard and the bottom row of $\Gamma$ is less than or equal to $w$. Further, $p_{\Gamma}$ is also called standard monomial on $X(w)$ of shape $\lambda$. We use the notation $p_{\Gamma}$ and $\Gamma$ interchangeably.

Now we recall the definition of weight of a standard Young tableau $\Gamma$ (see~\cite[Section~2, p.~336]{L}). For a positive integer $1\leq i\leq 2n$, we denote by $c_{\Gamma}(i)$, the number of boxes of $\Gamma$ containing the integer $i$. The weight of $\Gamma$ is defined as $wt(\Gamma):=c_{\Gamma}(1)\varepsilon_1+ \cdots + c_{\Gamma}(2n)\varepsilon_{2n}$.

We conclude this section by recalling the following key lemma about $T$-invariant monomials in $H^0(G_{r,2n}, \mathcal{O}(m))$.

\begin{lemm}[{\cite[Lemma~3.1, p.~4]{NP}}]\label{lemma2.1}
A monomial $p_{\Gamma}\in H^0(G_{r,2n}, \mathcal{O}(m))$ is $T$-invariant if and only if $c_{\Gamma}(i)=c_{\Gamma}(j)$ for all $1 \leq i,j \leq 2n$.
\end{lemm}


\section{Main Theorem} \label{section3}

First we recall that by~\cite[Theorem~3.10, p.~764]{Kum}, $2$ is the minimal integer $k$ such that the line bundle $\mathcal{O}(k)$ on $G_{n,2n}$ descends to the GIT quotient $T \backslash \backslash (G_{n,2n})^{ss}_T(\mathcal{O}(2))$. In this section, we prove that there exists a Schubert subvariety $X(v)$ of $G_{n,2n}$ admitting semi-stable points such that the GIT quotient $T\backslash\backslash(X(v))^{ss}_T(\mathcal{O}(2))$ with respect to the descent of $\mathcal{O}(2)$ is not projectively normal (see \cref{theorem3.4}). As a consequence, we conclude that any Schubert variety $X(w)$ containing $X(v),$ the GIT quotient $T\backslash\backslash(X(w))^{ss}_T(\mathcal{O}(2))$ with respect to the descent of $\mathcal{O}(2)$ is not projectively normal. In particular, $T\backslash\backslash(G_{n,2n})^{ss}_T(\mathcal{O}(2))$ is not projectively normal.

Recall that $2\varpi_n=2\varepsilon_1+2\varepsilon_2+\cdots+2\varepsilon_n$ (see~\cite[Table~1, p.~69]{Hum1}). For $u=(u_1,u_2,\ldots,u_n) \in I(n,2n),$ we define $u(2\varpi_n)=2\varepsilon_{u_{1}}+2\varepsilon_{u_2}+\cdots+2\varepsilon_{u_n}$.

Recall that by~\cite[Corollary~1.9, p.~85]{KS}, there exists a unique minimal element $w_1 \in I(n,2n)$ such that $w_1(2\varpi_{n})\leq 0,$ i.e., $-w_1(2\varpi_n)$ is a non-negative linear combination of simple roots. Consider $w=(2,4,6,\ldots,2n-4,2n-2,2n)$. Then $-w(2\varpi_n)=-(2\varepsilon_2+2\varepsilon_4+\cdots+2\varepsilon_{2n})=\alpha_1+\alpha_3+\cdots+\alpha_{2n-1},$ as $\sum_{i=1}^{2n}\varepsilon_{i}=0$. Thus, $w(2\varpi_n) \leq 0$. On the other hand for any $v \le w$ such that $\sum_{i=1}^{n}({w}_i-v_i)=1,$ we have $v=(2,4,6,\ldots,2i-2,2i-1,2i+2,\ldots,2n-4,2n-2,2n)$ for some $1 \leq i \leq n$. Then $-v(2\varpi_n)=-(2\varepsilon_2+\cdots+2\varepsilon_{2i-2}+2\varepsilon_{2i-1}+2\varepsilon_{2i+2}+\cdots+2\varepsilon_{2n})$. Since $\sum_{i=1}^{2n}\varepsilon_{i}=0,$ we have $-v(2\varpi_n)=(\alpha_1+\alpha_3+\cdots+\alpha_{2i-3}+\alpha_{2i+1}+\alpha_{2i+3}+\cdots+\alpha_{2n-1})-\alpha_{2i-1}$. Thus, $v(2\varpi_{n}) \nleq 0$. Therefore, $w=w_1$.

Now we consider the following $w_i$'s such that $w_1 \leq w_i$ for all $2 \leq i \leq 5:$
\begin{itemize}
\item $w_2=(2,4,6,\ldots,2n-6,2n-3,2n-2,2n)$
\item $w_3=(2,4,6,\ldots,2n-6,2n-4,2n-1,2n)$
\item $w_4=(2,4,6,\ldots,2n-6,2n-3,2n-1,2n)$
\item $w_5=(2,4,6,\ldots,2n-6,2n-2,2n-1,2n)$.
\end{itemize}

Note that $\{ w_1, w_2, w_3,w_4, w_5 \}$ is precisely the set $\{ w\in I(n,2n): w_1 \leq w \leq w_5 \}$. Further, note that $w_{2}$ and $w_{3}$ are non-comparable and $w_{2},w_{3}\le w_{4}\le w_{5}$. Since $w_1 \leq w_{i}$ and $w_{1}(2\varpi_{n})\leq 0,$ we have $w_{i}(2\varpi_{n}) \leq 0$ for all $2 \leq i \leq 5$. Thus, by~\cite[Lemma~2.1, p.~470]{KP}, $X(w_i)^{ss}_T(\mathcal{O}(2))$ is non-empty for all $1 \leq i \leq 5$.

Let $X= T \backslash \backslash (X(w_{5}))^{ss}_T(\mathcal{O}(2))$. Then we have $X= \Proj(R),$ where $R=\bigoplus_{k\in\mathbb{Z}_{\geq 0}} R_{k}$ and $R_{k}=H^0(X(w_{5}), \mathcal{O}(2k))^{T}$. Note that $R_{k}$'s are finite dimensional vector spaces.

\begin{rema}\label{rem3.6}
Let $\mathcal{M}$ denote the descent of the line bundle $\mathcal{O}(2)$ to $X$. Then by using \emph{Quantization commutes with reduction} we have $H^0(X(w_{5}), \mathcal{O}(2k))^{T}=H^{0}(X,\mathcal{M}^{\otimes k})$ for $k\in \mathbb{Z}_{\ge 0}$ (see~\cite[Theorem~3.2.a., p.~11]{Tel} or~\cite[Theorem~4.1$\MK$(ii), p.~526]{Ses1}).
\end{rema}

\begin{rema}\label{remark3.2}\ 
\begin{enumerate}\romanenumi
\item \label{4i} Note that the set of $T$-invariant standard monomials of shape $2\varpi_{n}$ on $X(w_5)$ is $\{X_{i}$: $1\leq i \leq 5$\}. Thus by~\cite[Theorem~12.4.8, p.~207]{LB}, the set $\{X_i: 1\leq i \leq 5\}$ forms standard monomial basis of $R_1$.
\item \label{4ii} The set of $T$-invariant standard monomials of shape $4\varpi_{n}$ on $X(w_5)$ is $\{Y_{1}, Y_{2}\} \cup \{X_{i}X_{j} :1\le i\le j\le 5\}\setminus \{X_2X_3\}$. Therefore, by~\cite[Theorem~12.4.8, p.~207]{LB}, the set $\{Y_{1}, Y_{2}\}\cup \{X_{i}X_{j}: 1\le i\le j\le 5 \}\setminus\{X_{2}X_{3}\}$ forms standard monomial basis of $R_{2}$.
\end{enumerate}
\end{rema}

\begin{theo}\label{theorem3.4}
The GIT quotient $X$ with respect to the descent of $\mathcal{O}(2)$ is not projectively normal.
\end{theo}

\begin{proof}
Consider the natural map $f: R_{1}\otimes R_{1}\to R_{2}$ of vector spaces given by $X_{i}\otimes X_{j}\mapsto X_{i}X_{j}$ for $1\le i,j\le 5$. Then $f$ factors through second symmetric power $S^{2}R_{1}$ of the vector space $R_{1}$. For simplicity we also denote the factor map $S^{2}R_{1}\to R_{2}$ by $f$. By \cref{remark3.2}, we have $\dim(R_{1})=5$ and $\dim(R_{2})=16$. So, the map $f: S^{2}R_{1}\to R_{2}$ cannot be surjective, since $\dim(S^{2}R_{1})=15<\dim(R_{2})$.
\end{proof}

\begin{coro}\label{corollary3.5}
The GIT quotient $T \backslash \backslash (X(w))^{ss}_T(\mathcal{O}(2))$ with respect to the descent of $\mathcal{O}(2)$ is not projectively normal for $w \in I(n,2n)$ such that $w_{5} \leq w$. In particular, the GIT quotient $T \backslash \backslash (G_{n,2n})^{ss}_T(\mathcal{O}(2))$ with respect to the descent of $\mathcal{O}(2)$ is not projectively normal.

\[
\phi: H^{0}(X(w), \mathcal{O}(2k)) \to H^{0}(X(w_{5}), \mathcal{O}(2k))
\]
is surjective. Further, since $T$ is linearly reductive, the restriction map $\phi: H^{0}(X(w), \mathcal{O}(2k))^T \to H^{0}(X(w_{5}), \mathcal{O}(2k))^T$ is surjective for all $k \geq 1$. So, by \cref{theorem3.4}, $T \backslash \backslash (X(w))^{ss}_T(\mathcal{O}(2))$ with respect to the descent of $\mathcal{O}(2)$ is not projectively normal.
\end{proof}

\begin{lemm}\label{lemma3.1}
The homogeneous coordinate ring of $X$ is generated by elements of degree at most two.
\end{lemm}

\begin{proof}
Let $f \in R_k$ be a standard monomial. We claim that $f = f_1f_2,$ where $f_1$ is in $R_1$ or $R_2$. The Young diagram associated to $f$ has the shape $(\lambda_1, \lambda_2, \lambda_3, \ldots, \lambda_{n}) = (\underbrace{2k, 2k, \ldots, 2k}_{n})$. So the Young tableau $\Gamma$ associated to $f$ has $2k$ rows and $n$ columns with strictly increasing rows and non-decreasing columns. Since $f$ is $T$-invariant, by \cref{lemma2.1}, we have $c_\Gamma(t)=k$ for all $1 \leq t \leq 2n$. Let $r_i$ be the $i$-th row of the tableau. Let $E_{i,j}$ be the $(i,j)$-th entry of the tableau $\Gamma$ and $N_{t,j}$ is the number of boxes in the $j$-th column of $\Gamma$ containing the integer $t$.

Recall that $w_5$ is $(2,4,6,\ldots,2n-6,2n-2,2n-1,2n)$. Since $r_{2k} \leq w_5,$ we have $E_{2k,j} \leq 2j$ for all $1 \leq j \leq n-3$. Note that for $1 \leq j \leq n-3,$ we have $E_{i,j}=2j$ for all $k+1 \leq i \leq 2k$. Thus, for $1 \leq j \leq n-2,$ we have $E_{i,j}=2j-1$ for all $1 \leq i \leq k$. Thus, the following rows are the possibilities for $r_{2k}:$
\begin{itemize}
\item $(2,4,6,\ldots,2n-6,2n-4,2n-2,2n)$
\item $(2,4,6,\ldots,2n-6,2n-3,2n-2,2n)$
\item $(2,4,6,\ldots,2n-6,2n-4,2n-1,2n)$
\item $(2,4,6,\ldots,2n-6,2n-3,2n-1,2n)$
\item $(2,4,6,\ldots,2n-6,2n-2,2n-1,2n)$.
\end{itemize}

\begin{proof}[Case I]
Assume that $r_{2k}=(2,4,6,\ldots,2n-6,2n-4,2n-2,2n)$. Then for $1 \leq j \leq n,$ we have $E_{i,j}=2j-1$ (resp. $E_{i,j}=2j$) for all $1 \leq i \leq k$ (resp. for all $k+1 \leq i \leq 2k$). Therefore, $r_1=(1,3,5,\ldots,2n-7,2n-5,2n-3,2n-1)$. Hence, $r_1, r_{2k}$ together give a factor $X_{1}$ of $f$.
\let\qed\relax
\end{proof}

\begin{proof}[Case II]
Assume that $r_{2k}=(2,4,6,\ldots,2n-6,2n-3,2n-2,2n)$. Since $N_{2n-3,n-2}\geq 1,$ we have $N_{2n-4,n-2} \leq k-1$. Thus, $E_{1,n-1}=2n-4$. Since $E_{2k,n-1}=2n-2,$ we have $E_{i,n} = 2n-1$ for all $1 \leq i \leq k$. Therefore, $r_1=(1,3,5,\ldots,2n-7,2n-5,2n-4,2n-1)$. Hence, $r_1, r_{2k}$ together give a factor $X_{2}$ of $f$.
\let\qed\relax
\end{proof}

\begin{proof}[Case III]
Assume that $r_{2k}=(2,4,6,\ldots,2n-6,2n-4,2n-1,2n)$. Then $E_{i,n-2}=2n-4$ for all $k+1 \leq i \leq 2k$ and $E_{i,n-1}=2n-3$ for all $1 \leq i \leq k$. Since $N_{2n-1,n-1}\geq 1,$ we have $N_{2n-2,n-1} \leq k-1$. Thus, $E_{1,n}=2n-2$. Therefore, $r_1=(1,3,5,\ldots,2n-7,2n-5,2n-3,2n-2)$. Hence, $r_1, r_{2k}$ together give a factor $X_{3}$ of $f$.
\let\qed\relax
\end{proof}

\begin{proof}[Case IV]
Assume that $r_{2k}=(2,4,6,\ldots,2n-6,2n-3,2n-1,2n)$. Since $N_{2n-3,n-2}\geq 1,$ we have $N_{2n-4,n-2} \leq k-1$. Thus, $E_{1,n-1}=2n-4$. Since $E_{2k,n-1}=2n-1,$ we have $E_{1,n} \leq 2n-2$. Thus, $r_1$ is either $(1,3,5,\ldots,2n-7,2n-5,2n-4,2n-3)$ or $(1,3,5,\ldots,2n-7,2n-5,2n-4,2n-2)$. If $r_1=(1,3,5,\ldots,2n-7,2n-5,2n-4,2n-2),$ then $r_1, r_{2k}$ together give a factor $X_{4}$ of $f$. If $r_1=(1,3,5,\ldots,2n-7,2n-5,2n-4,2n-3),$ then $E_{k,n-1}=2n-2$. Otherwise, if $E_{k,n-1}=2n-4$ or $2n-3,$ then $\sum_{t=2n-4}^{2n-3}(N_{t, n-2}+N_{t, n-1}+N_{t,n})\ge 2k+1,$ which is a contradiction. Therefore, $E_{k,n}=2n-1$. Thus, $E_{k+1,n-1}=2n-2$. Therefore, $r_{k}=(1,3,5,\ldots,2n-7,2n-5,2n-2,2n-1)$ and $r_{k+1}=(2,4,6,\ldots,2n-6,2n-4,2n-2,2n)$. Hence, $r_1, r_{k}, r_{k+1}, r_{2k}$ together give a factor $Y_1$ of $f$.
\let\qed\relax
\end{proof}

\begin{proof}[Case V]
Assume that $r_{2k}=(2,4,6,\ldots,2n-6,2n-2,2n-1,2n)$. Since $E_{2k,n-2}=2n-2,$ we have $E_{1,n-1}=2n-4$. Thus, $E_{1,n} \geq 2n-3$. If $E_{1,n} = 2n-1,$ then $N_{2n-1,n-1}+N_{2n-1,n} \geq k+1,$ which is a contradiction. Thus, $E_{1,n}$ is either $2n-3$ or $2n-2$. Thus, $r_1$ is either $(1,3,5,\ldots,2n-7,2n-5,2n-4,2n-3)$ or $(1,3,5,\ldots,2n-7,2n-5,2n-4,2n-2)$. If $r_1=(1,3,5,\ldots,2n-7,2n-5,2n-4,2n-3),$ then $r_1, r_{2k}$ together give a factor $X_{5}$ of $f$. If $r_1=(1,3,5,\ldots,2n-7,2n-5,2n-4,2n-2),$ then $2n-4 \leq E_{k,n-1} \leq 2n-1$. If $E_{k,n-1}=2n-1,$ then $N_{2n-1,n-1} \geq k+1,$ which is a contradiction. If $E_{k,n-1}=2n-2,$ then $\sum_{t=2n-2}^{2n-1}(N_{t,n-2}+N_{t,n-1}+N_{t,n}) \geq 2k+2,$ which is a contradiction. If $E_{k,n-1}=2n-4,$ then $E_{i,n-2}=2n-3$ for all $k+1 \leq i \leq 2k-1$. Thus, $c_{\Gamma}(2n-3) \leq k-1,$ which is a contradiction. Therefore, $E_{k,n-1}=2n-3$. Thus, $E_{k,n}=2n-1$. Then $2n-3 \leq E_{k+1,n-1} \leq 2n-1$. If $E_{k+1,n-1}=2n-1,$ then $N_{2n-1,n-1}+N_{2n-1,n} \geq k+1,$ which is a contradiction. If $E_{k+1,n-1}=2n-2,$ then $\sum_{t=2n-2}^{2n-1}(N_{t,n-2}+N_{t,n-1}+N_{t,n}) \geq 2k+1,$ which is a contradiction. Thus, $E_{k+1,n-1}=2n-3$. Therefore, $r_{k}=(1,3,5,\ldots,2n-7,2n-5,2n-3,2n-1)$ and $r_{k+1}=(2,4,6,\ldots,2n-6,2n-4,2n-3,2n)$. Therefore, $r_1, r_{k}, r_{k+1}, r_{2k}$ together give a factor $Y_2$ of $f$.

\end{enumerate}
\end{prop}

\begin{proof}
Note that $Y_{2}=0$ on $X(w_{i})$ for all $1 \leq i \leq 4$.

\begin{proof}[Proof of \meqref{9iv}]
By~\cite[Theorem~3.1.1(b), p.~85]{BK}, the restriction map $H^{0}(X(w_{5}), \mathcal{O}(2k)) \to H^{0}(X(w_{4}), \mathcal{O}(2k))$ is surjective. Further, since $T$ is linearly reductive, the restriction map $H^{0}(X(w_5), \mathcal{O}(2k))^T \to H^{0}(X(w_{4}), \mathcal{O}(2k))^T$ is surjective for all $k \geq 1$. Note that $X_{5}=0$ on $X(w_{4})$. Consider $X_{i}$'s ($1\le i\le 4$) as elements of $H^0(X(w_{4}),\mathcal{O}(2))^{T}$. Recall that $(X_1,\ldots,X_4)$ is a basis of $H^0(X(w_{4}),\mathcal{O}(2))^{T}$.

We claim that any relation among $X_{i}$'s $(1\le i\le 4)$ given by a homogeneous polynomials of degree $k$ is identically zero. Suppose
\begin{equation}\label{eq3.1}
\sum c_{\unm}X^{\unm}=0
\end{equation}
where $\unm=(m_1,m_2,m_3,m_4)$ are tuples of non-negative integers such that $m_1+m_2+m_3+m_4=k,$ $X^{\unm}=X_1^{m_1}X_2^{m_2}X_3^{m_3}X_4^{m_4}$ and $c_{\unm}$'s are non-zero scalars. Then rewriting \cref{eq3.1} as
\begin{equation*}
\sum_{m_2 \leq m_3}c_{\unm}X_1^{m_1}(X_2X_3)^{m_2}X_3^{m_3-m_2}X_4^{m_4}+\sum_{m_2 >m_3}c_{\unm}X_1^{m_1}X_2^{m_2-m_3}(X_2X_3)^{m_3}X_4^{m_4}=0.
\end{equation*}
Recall that by \cref{lemma3.3}, we have $X_2X_3=X_1X_4-Y_1$. Replacing $X_2X_3$ by $X_1X_4-Y_1$ in the above equation we get
\begin{equation*}
\sum_{m_2 \leq m_3}c_{\unm}X_1^{m_1}(X_1X_4-Y_1)^{m_2}X_3^{m_3-m_2}X_4^{m_4}+\sum_{m_2 >m_3}c_{\unm}X_1^{m_1}X_2^{m_2-m_3}(X_1X_4-Y_1)^{m_3}X_4^{m_4}=0.
\end{equation*}
Note that any monomial in $X_1, X_3, X_4, Y_1$ (respectively, in $X_1, X_2,X_4,Y_1$) is standard. Hence, $c_{\unm}=0$ for all $\unm$. Thus, $X_{1},X_{2},X_{3},X_{4}$ are algebraically independent. Further, by \cref{lemma3.1}, and above surjectivity, the homogeneous coordinate ring of $T\backslash\backslash(X(w_4))^{ss}_T(\mathcal{O}(2))$ is generated by $X_1,X_2,X_3,X_4$. On the other hand, by~\cite[Theorem~3.2.2, p.~92]{BK}, $X(w_{4})$ is normal. As $T \backslash \backslash(X(w_{4}))^{ss}_T(\mathcal{O}(2))$ is an open subset of $X(w_{4}),$ it is also normal. Hence, by \cref{rem3.6}, the GIT quotient $T\backslash\backslash(X(w_4))^{ss}_T(\mathcal{O}(2))$ with respect to the descent of $\mathcal{O}(2)$ is projectively normal and isomorphic to $\Proj(\mathbb{ C}[X_{1},X_{2},X_{3}, X_{4}])=\mathbb{P}^{3}$ polarized with $\mathcal{O}(1)$.

By~\cite[Theorem~3.1.1(b), p.~85]{BK}, it follows that the restriction map $ H^{0}(X(w_{4}), \mathcal{O}(2k)) \to H^{0}(X(w_{i}), \mathcal{O}(2k))$ is surjective for all $1\le i\le 3$. Further, since $T$ is linearly reductive, the restriction map $ H^{0}(X(w_{4}), \mathcal{O}(2k))^T \to H^{0}(X(w_{i}), \mathcal{O}(2k))^T$ is surjective for all $k \geq 1$. On the other hand, by~\cite[Theorem~3.2.2, p.~92]{BK}, $X(w_{i})$ is normal. As $T \backslash \backslash(X(w_{i}))^{ss}_T(\mathcal{O}(2))$ is an open subset of $X(w_{i}),$ it is also normal. Hence, by (iv) the GIT quotient $T\backslash\backslash(X(w_i))^{ss}_T(\mathcal{O}(2))$ with respect to the descent of $\mathcal{O}(2)$ is also projectively normal for all $1\le i\le 3$.

Now we prove that the GIT quotient of $X(w_5)$ by $T$ with respect to the descent of $\mathcal{O}(4)$ is projectively normal.

\begin{theo}\label{thm3.8}
The homogeneous coordinate ring of $T \backslash \backslash (X(w_5))^{ss}_T(\mathcal{O}(4))$ is generated by elements of degree one.
\end{theo}
\begin{proof}
Let $f \in H^{0}(X(w_5),\mathcal{O}(4)^{\otimes k})^{T}=H^{0}(X(w_5),\mathcal{O}(4k))^{T}$. Then by \cref{lemma3.1}, we have
\[
f=\sum a_{(\unm, \unn)}X^{\unm}Y^{\unn},
\]
where $\unm=(m_1, m_2, m_3, m_4, m_5),$ $\unn=(n_1, n_2),$ are tuples of non-negative integers such that $m_1+m_2+m_3+m_4+m_5+2n_1+2n_2=2k,$ $X^{\unm}=X_1^{m_1}X_2^{m_2}X_3^{m_3}X_4^{m_4}X_5^{m_5},$ $Y^{\unn}=Y_1^{n_1}Y_2^{n_2},$ and $a_{(\unm,\unn)}$'s are non-zero scalars.

Now to prove that the homogeneous coordinate ring of $T \backslash \backslash (X(w_5))^{ss}_T(\mathcal{O}(4))$ is generated by $H^{0}(X(w_5),\mathcal{O}(4))^{T}$ as a $\mathbb{C}$-algebra, it is enough to show that for each $f$ as above and each monomial appearing in the expression of $f$ is in the image of $S^ {k}H^{0}(X(w_5),\mathcal{O}(4))^{T},$ under the natural map $S^ {k}H^{0}(X(w_5),\mathcal{O}(4))^{T}\to H^0(X(w_5),\mathcal{O}(4k))^{T},$ where $S^ {k}H^{0}(X(w_5),\mathcal{O}(4))^{T}$ denotes the $k^{\text{th}}$ symmetric power of the vector space $H^{0}(X(w_5),\mathcal{O}(4))^{T}$.

Consider the monomial $X^{\unm}Y^{\unn}$ appearing in the expression of $f$. Since $m_1+m_2+m_3+m_4+m_5$ is even integer, $X^{\unm}$ can be written as $\prod_{(i,j)} X_iX_j,$ where the number of pairs $(i,j)$ is $(k-n_1-n_2)$ and repetition of $X_i$'s are allowed. Thus, $X^{\unm}$ is a product of $(k-n_1-n_2)$ number of monomials in $H^{0}(X(w_5),\mathcal{O}(4))^T$. Note that $Y_{1},Y_{2}\in H^{0}(X(w_{5}),\mathcal{O}(4))^{T}$. Therefore, $X^{\unm}Y^{\unn}$ is in the image of $S^{k}(H^{0}(X(w_5),\mathcal{O}(4))^{T})$ under the natural map.
\end{proof}

\begin{coro}\label{cor3.10}
The GIT quotient $T \backslash \backslash (X(w_5))^{ss}_T(\mathcal{O}(4))$ is projectively normal with respect to the descent of $\mathcal{O}(4)$.
\end{coro}
\begin{proof}
Follows from \cref{thm3.8}.
\end{proof}

\begin{coro}
The GIT quotient $T \backslash \backslash (G_{3,6})^{ss}_T(\mathcal{O}(4))$ is projectively normal with respect to the descent of $\mathcal{O}(4)$.
\end{coro}

\begin{proof}
Note that for $n=3,$ $w_{5}=(4,5,6)$. So, we have $X(w_{5})=G_{3,6}$. Therefore, proof immediately follows from \cref{thm3.8}.
\end{proof}

In the view of the above results the following question is open:

\begin{enonce*}[remark]{Problem}
Is the GIT quotient of $G_{n,2n}$ ($n\ge 4$) by $T$ with respect to the descent of $\mathcal{O}(4)$ projectively normal?
\end{enonce*}

Here, we prove the following straightening law on $X(w_5)$ that we used in the proof of \cref{lemma3.3}.
\begin{equation}\label{*}
\mytableau{
1 & 3 & 5 & \cdots & 2n-7 & 2n-5 & 2n-2 & 2n-1 \\
2 & 4 & 6 & \cdots & 2n-6 & 2n-4 & 2n-3 & 2n
}=X_1-X_2-X_3+X_4-X_5. \tag{$*$}
\end{equation}

\begin{proof}
Let $\uni=\{1,3,\dots,2n-7\}$ and $\unj=\{2,4,6,\dots,2n-6 \}$. Let $I=\{1,3,\ldots, 2n-7,2n-5,2n-4\}$ and $J=\{2,4,\ldots,2n-6,2n-3,2n-2,2n-1,2n\}$ be two subsets of $\{1,2,\ldots, 2n\}$. Then by using (2.1) the following straightening law holds in $X(w_5)$
\begin{multline}\label{A1}
p_{\uni,2n-5,2n-4,2n-3}p_{\unj,2n-2,2n-1,2n}-p_{\uni,2n-5,2n-4,2n-2}p_{\unj,2n-3,2n-1,2n}
\\
+p_{\uni,2n-5,2n-4,2n-1}p_{\unj,2n-3,2n-2,2n}
%\\
-p_{\uni,2n-5,2n-4,2n}p_{\unj,2n-3,2n-2,2n-1}=0.
\end{multline}

Let $I=\{1,3,\ldots, 2n-7,2n-5,2n-3\}$ and $J=\{2,4,\ldots,2n-6,2n-4,2n-2,2n-1,2n\}$. Then by using (2.1) the following straightening law holds in $X(w_5)$
\begin{multline}\label{A2}
p_{\uni,2n-5,2n-4,2n-3}p_{\unj,2n-2,2n-1,2n}+p_{\uni,2n-5,2n-3,2n-2}p_{\unj,2n-4,2n-1,2n}\\
-p_{\uni,2n-5,2n-3,2n-1}p_{\unj,2n-4,2n-2,2n}
+p_{\uni,2n-5,2n-3,2n}p_{\unj, 2n-4,2n-2,2n-1}=0.
\end{multline}

Let $I=\{1,3,\ldots, 2n-7,2n-5,2n-2\}$ and $J=\{2,4,\ldots,2n-6,2n-4,2n-3,2n-1,2n\}$. Then by using (2.1) the following straightening law holds in $X(w_5)$
\begin{multline}\label{A3}
p_{\uni,2n-5,2n-4,2n-2}p_{\unj,2n-3,2n-1,2n}-p_{\uni,2n-5,2n-3,2n-2}p_{\unj,2n-4,2n-1,2n}\\
-p_{\uni,2n-5,2n-2,2n-1}p_{\unj,2n-4,2n-3,2n}
+p_{\uni,2n-5,2n-2,2n}p_{\unj,2n-4,2n-3,2n-1}=0.
\end{multline}

Let $I=\{1,3,\ldots, 2n-7,2n-5,2n-1\}$ and $J=\{2,4,\ldots,2n-6,2n-4,2n-3,2n-2,2n\}$. Then by using (2.1) the following straightening law holds in $X(w_5)$
\begin{multline}\label{A4}
p_{\uni,2n-5,2n-4,2n-1}p_{\unj,2n-3,2n-2,2n}-p_{\uni,2n-5,2n-3,2n-1}p_{\unj,2n-4,2n-2,2n}\\
+p_{\uni,2n-5,2n-2,2n-1}p_{\unj,2n-4,2n-3,2n}
+p_{\uni,2n-5,2n-1,2n}p_{\unj,2n-4,2n-3,2n-2}=0.
\end{multline}

Let $I=\{1,3,\ldots, 2n-7,2n-5,2n\}$ and $J=\{2,4,\ldots,2n-6,2n-4,2n-3,2n-2,2n-1\}$. Then by using (2.1) the following straightening law holds in $X(w_5)$
\begin{multline}\label{A5}
p_{\uni,2n-5,2n-4,2n}p_{\unj,2n-3,2n-2,2n-1}-p_{\uni,2n-5,2n-3,2n}p_{\unj,2n-4,2n-2,2n-1}\\
+p_{\uni,2n-5,2n-2,2n}p_{\unj,2n-4,2n-3,2n-1}
-p_{\uni,2n-5,2n-1,2n}p_{\unj,2n-4,2n-3,2n-2}=0.
\end{multline}

Thus by using \eqref{A3}, we have
\begin{multline*}
p_{\uni,2n-5,2n-2,2n-1}p_{\unj,2n-4,2n-3,2n}=p_{\uni,2n-5,2n-4,2n-2}p_{\unj,2n-3,2n-1,2n}\\
-p_{\uni,2n-5,2n-3,2n-2}p_{\unj,2n-4,2n-1,2n}
+p_{\uni,2n-5,2n-2,2n}p_{\unj,2n-4,2n-3,2n-1}.
\end{multline*}

By using \eqref{A5} we have
\begin{multline*}
p_{\uni,2n-5,2n-2,2n-1}p_{\unj,2n-4,2n-3,2n}\\
\begin{aligned}
&=p_{\uni,2n-5,2n-4,2n-2}p_{\unj,2n-3,2n-1,2n}-p_{\uni,2n-5,2n-3,2n-2}p_{\unj,2n-4,2n-1,2n}\\
&\qquad-p_{\uni,2n-5,2n-4,2n}p_{\unj,2n-3,2n-2,2n-1}+p_{\uni,2n-5,2n-3,2n}p_{\unj,2n-4,2n-2,2n-1}\\
&\qquad+p_{\uni,2n-5,2n-1,2n}p_{\unj,2n-4,2n-3,2n-2}.
\end{aligned}
\end{multline*}

Further, by using \eqref{A1}, \eqref{A2} and \eqref{A4}, \eqref{*} follows.
\end{proof}
