Trivial rational solution of a system of hyperplanes

Let us consider a vector space $ V $ over $ \mathbb{Q} $ of dim $6$. We denote all the two dimensional subspace in $ V $ by $ G(2,6) $ (The Grassmanian variety). One can define a map $ p $ from $ G(2,...

Reference request: invariants/tableaux functions for 4 lines in $P^3$

Does anybody have a reference for invariants of configurations of linear subspaces in the projective space? In particular I would be curious to see an explicit expression of the invariant functions ...

Subbundle generated by linearly dependent sections

On $\mathbb{P}^1$ consider the trivial bundle $\mathcal{O}\oplus \mathcal{O}$, and the subbundle $\mathcal{L}_{a,b}\subset\mathcal{O}\oplus \mathcal{O}$ that on an open subset $U$ of $\mathbb{P}^1$ is ...

Linear subspaces in quadric hypersurfaces

Consider $H_1,H_2,H_3\subset\mathbb{P}^{2m+1}$ three general linear subspaces of projective dimension $m$. Then there exists a quadric hypersurface $Q^{2m}\subset\mathbb{P}^{2m+1}$ containing $H_1,...

Vector bundles on Grassmannians

Let $Gr(k,n)$ be the Grassmannian of $k$-dimensional vector subspaces $H^k$ of an $n$-dimensional vector space $V$. Let us fix an $h$-dimensional vector subspace $\Gamma\subset V$ with $h\leq k$, and ...

Varieties parametrizing skew-symmetric matrices

Let $V$ be a vector space of dimension $n$ and let us consider the projective space $\mathbb{P}(\bigwedge^2V)$ parametrizing skew-symmetric matrices. Let $M\in\mathbb{P}(\bigwedge^2V)$, for any ...

A $d$-form on ${\mathbb R}^n$ that vanishes on $\binom{d+n-1}{n-1}$ general points, vanishes identically

I'm looking for a reference for the fact that a $d$-form on ${\mathbb R}^n$ that vanishes on $p_1,..,p_{\binom{d+n-1}{n-1}}$ general points, vanishes identically. A specific construction of a set of ...

Is this lemma in elementary linear algebra new?

Is anyone familiar with the following, or anything close to it? Lemma. Suppose $A$, $B$ are nonzero finite-dimensional vector spaces over an infinite field $k$, and $V$ a subspace of $A\otimes_k B$ ...
