On the third secant variety
نویسنده
چکیده
We determine normal forms and ranks of tensors of border rank at most three. We present a differential-geometric analysis of limits of secant planes in a more general context. In particular there are at most four types of points on limiting trisecant planes for cominuscule varieties such as Grassmannians. We also show that the singular locus of the secant varieties σr(Seg(P × P × P)) has codimension at least two for r = 2,3.

Arithmetic Properties of the First Secant Variety to a Projective Variety
Under an explicit positivity condition, we show the first secant variety of a linearly normal smooth variety is projectively normal, give results on the regularity of the ideal of the secant variety, and give conditions on the variety that are equivalent to the secant variety being arithmetically Cohen-Macaulay. Under this same condition, we then show that if X satisfies Np+2dim(X), then the se...
متن کاملSecant varieties
The goal of this talk is to introduce secant varieies and show connections of secant varieties of Veronese variety to the Waring problem. 1 Secant varieties Let X ⊂ P be a variety over k, where k is algebraically closed field of characteristic 0 (or just assume k = C). Definition 1.1. For s ≥ 1 the s-th higher secant variety of X is
متن کاملMost Secant Varieties of Tangential Varieties to Veronese Varieties Are Nondefective
We prove a conjecture stated by Catalisano, Geramita, and Gimigliano in 2002, which claims that the secant varieties of tangential varieties to the dth Veronese embedding of the projective n-space Pn have the expected dimension, modulo a few wellknown exceptions. It is arguably the first complete result on the dimensions of secant varieties of a classically studied variety since the work of Ale...
متن کاملON THE CONCEPT OF k-SECANT ORDER OF A VARIETY
For a variety X of dimension n in Pr, r n(k + 1) + k, the kth secant order of X is the number μk(X) of (k + 1)-secant k-spaces passing through a general point of the kth secant variety. We show that, if r > n(k + 1) + k, then μk(X) = 1 unless X is k-weakly defective. Furthermore we give a complete classification of surfaces X ⊂ Pr, r > 3k + 2, for which μk(X) > 1.
متن کاملSyzygies of the Secant Variety of a Curve
We show the secant variety of a linearly normal smooth curve of degree at least 2g + 3 is arithmetically Cohen-Macaulay, and we use this information to study the graded Betti numbers of the secant variety.
