We consider the set of principal Gaudin subalgebras, which is the closure in the appropriate Grassmannian of the set of spans of Gaudin Hamiltonians. We show that principal Gaudin subalgebras form a smooth projective variety isomorphic to the De Concini–Procesi compactification of the projectivized complement of the arrangement of reflection hyperplanes. %I Loughborough University
