Secant Dimensions of Low-dimensional Homogeneous Varieties

چکیده
We completely describe the higher secant dimensions of all connected homogeneous projective varieties of dimension at most 3, in all possible equivariant embeddings. In particular, we calculate these dimensions for all Segre-Veronese embeddings of P1 × P1, P1 × P1 × P1, and P2 × P1, as well as for the variety F of incident point-line pairs in P2. For P2 × P1 and F the results are new, while the proofs for the other two varieties are more compact than existing proofs. Our main tool is the second author’s tropical approach to secant dimensions.

Induction for secant varieties of Segre varieties
This paper studies the dimension of secant varieties to Segre varieties. The problem is cast both in the setting of tensor algebra and in the setting of algebraic geometry. An inductive procedure is built around the ideas of successive specializations of points and projections. This reduces the calculation of the dimension of the secant variety in a high dimensional case to a sequence of calcul...
متن کاملOn Secant Varieties of Compact Hermitian Symmetric Spaces
We show that the secant varieties of rank three compact Hermitian symmetric spaces in their minimal homogeneous embeddings are normal, with rational singularities. We show that their ideals are generated in degree three with one exception, the secant variety of the 21-dimensional spinor variety in P, whose ideal is generated in degree four. We also discuss the coordinate ring of secant varietie...
متن کاملOn Degenerate Secant
We propose a class of projective manifolds with degenerate secant varieties, which class is wider than that of Scorza varieties , and study some properties of this class of manifolds. For example, we show that there is a strong restriction on dimensions of manifolds in this class. We also give classiications of such manifolds of low dimensions.
متن کاملSecant Dimensions of Minimal Orbits: Computations and Conjectures
We present an algorithm for computing the dimensions of higher secant varieties of minimal orbits. Experiments with this algorithm lead to many conjectures on secant dimensions, especially of Grassmannians and Segre products. For these two classes of minimal orbits, we also point out a relation between the existence of certain codes and non-defectiveness of certain higher secant varieties.
متن کاملSecant Varieties of Segre-veronese Varieties
In this paper we study the dimension of secant varieties of Segre-Veronese varieties P × P embedded by the morphism given by O(1, 2). Given the dimensions m, n, we provide two functions s(m, n) and s(m, n), such that the s secant variety is nondefective, i.e. it has the expected dimension, if s ≤ s(m, n) or s ≥ s(m, n). Finally, we present a conjecturally complete list of defective secant varie...
