In algebraic geometry, a projective variety over an algebraically closed field $k$ is a subset of some projective $n$-space $\mathbb P^n$ over $k$ that is the zero-locus of some finite family of homogeneous polynomials of $n + 1$ variables with coefficients in $k$, that generate a prime ideal, the defining ideal of the variety

Degree of secant varieties of Veronese varieties

The secant variety $Sec_k(V^n_2)$ is the variety parametrizing $(n+1)\times (n+1)$ symmetric matrices modulo scalar of rank at most $k$ that is of corank at least $n+1-k$. Then by Proposition 12(b) in …

Varieties with few trisecant lines

Assume that $X$ is set theoretically defined by quadrics: $ X = Q_1\cap\dots\cap Q_r$. If $L$ is a line trisecant to $X$ then $L$ is trisecant to $Q_i$ for all $i$ and hence $L\subset Q_i$ for all $i$ …

G-modules and ideals of secant varieties

In the symmetric case the representation is not irreducible. For instance, consider a $4\times 4$ symmetric matrix $Z^{+}$ with entries $z_{i,j}$. Then $\wedge^{2}Z^{+}$ is given by $$ \left(\begin{ …
