- To any $V$ in the Grassmannian ${\rm Gr}_k({\mathbb R}^n)$ of $k$-dimensional vector subspaces in ${\mathbb R}^n$ one can associate the diagonal entries of the ($n\times n$) matrix corresponding to the orthogonal projection of ${\mathbb R}^n$ to $V$. One obtains a map ${\rm Gr}_k({\mathbb R}^n)\to {\mathbb R}^n$ (the Schur-Horn map). The main result of this paper is a criterion for pre-images of vectors in ${\mathbb R}^n$ to be connected. This will allow us to deduce connectivity criteria for a certain class of subspaces of the real Stiefel manifold which arise naturally in frame theory. We extend in this way results of Cahill, Mixon, and Strawn.
