Arithmetic Properties of the First Secant Variety to a Projective Variety
نویسنده
چکیده
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 secant variety satisfies N3,p.

Results on Secant Varieties Leading to a Geometric Flip Construction
We study the relationship between the equations defining a projective variety and properties of its secant varieties. In particular, we use information about the syzygies among the defining equations to derive smoothness and normality statements about SecX and also to obtain information about linear systems on the blow up of projective space along a variety X. We use these results to geometrica...

متن کاملOn Secant Loci and Simple Linear Projections of Some Projective Varieties
In this paper, we study how simple linear projections of some projective varieties behave when the projection center runs through the ambient space. More precisely, let X ⊂ P be a projective variety satisfying Green-Lazarsfeld’s property Np for some p ≥ 2, q ∈ P a closed point outside of X , and Xq := πq(X) ⊂ P the projected image of X from q. First, it is shown that the secant locus Σq(X) of X...

We give a sharp bound on the regularity of the secant variety to a smooth curve embedded by a line bundle of large (effective) degree.
متن کاملRegularity and Normality of the Secant Variety to a Projective Curve
For a smooth curve of genus g embedded by a line bundle of degree at least 2g + 3 we show that the ideal sheaf of the secant variety is 5-regular. This bound is sharp with respect to both the degree of the embedding and the bound on the regularity. Further, we show that the secant variety is projectively normal for the generic embedding of degree at least 2g + 3. AMS Subject Classification (200...
