Embeddings of Symmetric Varieties
نویسنده
چکیده
We generalize to the case of a symmetric variety the construction of the enveloping semigroup of a semisimple algebraic group due to E.B. Vinberg, and we establish a connection with the wonderful completion of the associated adjoint symmetric variety due to C. De Concini and C.

On 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...

s of 2010 LSU Math REU talks • Name: Suzanne Carter Title: Calculating Picard Fuchs Differential Equations Abstract: Families of algebraic varieties have an associated Picard Fuchs differential equation, with a solution space spanned by the periods of the variety. These periods are integrals of differentials taken over chains in the primitive cohomology of the varieties. The, often unique, holo...
متن کاملDeterminantal equations for secant varieties and the Eisenbud-Koh-Stillman conjecture
We address special cases of a question of Eisenbud on the ideals of secant varieties of Veronese re-embeddings of arbitrary varieties. Eisenbud’s question generalizes a conjecture of Eisenbud, Koh and Stillman (EKS) for curves. We prove that set-theoretic equations of small secant varieties to a high degree Veronese re-embedding of a smooth variety are determined by equations of the ambient Ver...
متن کاملSecant Dimensions of Low-dimensional Homogeneous Varieties
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...
متن کاملAutomorphisms, Root Systems, and Compactifications of Homogeneous Varieties
Let G be a complex semisimple group and let H ⊆ G be the group of fixed points of an involutive automorphism of G. Then X = G/H is called a symmetric variety. In [CP], De Concini and Procesi have constructed an equivariant compactification X which has a number of remarkable properties, some of them being: i) The boundary is the union of divisors D1, . . . , Dr. ii) There are exactly 2 orbits. T...
