This paper deals with syzygies of the ideals of the Veronese embeddings.
We prove that O(3) on P^n satisfies Property N_4 for every n.
Besides we prove that O(d) on P^n satisfies N_p for all n >= p iff O(d) on P^p satisfies N_p.
We prove that the Veronese embedding of P^n of degree d with n\ge 2, d\ge 3 does not satisfy property N_p (according to Green and Lazarsfeld) if p\ge 3d-2. We conjecture that the converse holds. This is true for n=2 and for n=d=3.
We classify all the embeddings of P^n in a Grassmannian of lines G(1,N) such that the composition with Plücker is given by a linear system of quadrics of P^n.
We classify all the embeddings of $\mathbb{P}_n$ in a Grassmannian $Gr(1,N)$ such that the composition with Plücker embedding is given by a linear system of cubics on $\mathbb{P}_n$. As a corollary in the direction of the Hartshorne conjecture, we prove that every vector bundle giving such an embedding, splits if $n\geq 3$.
In this note we consider multiples aD, where D is a divisor of the blow-up of P^n along points in general position which appears in the Alexander and Hirschowitz list of Veronese embeddings having defective secant varieties. In particular we show that there is such a D with h^1(X,D) > 0 and h^1(X,2D) = 0.
We characterize $d$-uple Veronese embeddings of finite-dimensional projective spaces. The easiest non-trivial instance of our theorem is the embedding of the projective plane in 5-dimensional projective space, a result obtained in 1901 by Severi when the underlying field is complex.
The rational homology groups of the matching complexes are closely related to the syzygies of the Veronese embeddings. In this paper we will prove the vanishing of certain rational homology groups of matching complexes, thus proving that the third Veronese embeddings satisfy the property $N_6$. This settles the Ottaviani-Paoletti conjecture for third Veronese embeddings. This result is optimal since $ν_3(\PP^n)$ does not satisfy the property $N_7$ for $n\ge 2$ as shown by Ottaviani-Paoletti in \cite{OP}.
This paper studies the regularity of certain coherent sheaves that arise naturally from Segre-Veronese embeddings of a product of projective spaces. We give an explicit formula for the regularity of these sheaves and show that their regularity is subadditive. We then apply our results to study the Tate resolutions of these sheaves.
We study the dimension of the higher secant varieties $X^s$ of ${\Bbb X} = {\Bbb P}^{n_1}\times ...\times {\Bbb P}^{n_t}$ embedded the morphism given by ${\cal O}_{\Bbb X}({a_1,...,a_t})$. We call it a {\it Segre-Veronese variety} and the embedding a {\it Segre-Veronese embedding}. In several cases (e.g. for 3 factors {\Bbb P}^{1}, or when $s$ is small) we show that $X^s$ has the expected dimension except for a few cases. A list of examples of defective $X^s$'s is given.
Let $C$ be a smooth (irreducible) curve of degree $d$ in $\mathbb{P}^{2}$. Let $\mathbb{P}^{2} \hookrightarrow \mathbb{P}^{5}$ be the Veronese embedding and let $\mathcal{I}_{C}$ denote the homogeneous ideal of $C$ on $\mathbb{P}^{5}$. In this note we explicitly write down the minimal free resolution of $\mathcal{I}_{C}$ for $d\geq 2
In this paper we study singularities of third secant varieties of Veronese embedding $v_d(\mathbb{P}^n)$, which corresponds to the variety of symmetric tensors of border rank at most three in $(\mathbb{C}^{n+1})^{\otimes d}$.
In this work we explicitly calculate syzygies of quadratic Veronese embedding $\mathbb{P}(V)\subset\mathbb{P}(\operatorname{Sym}^2V)$ as representations of the group $\operatorname{GL}(V)$. Also resolutions of the sheaves $\mathscr{O}_{\mathbb{P}(V)}(i)$ are constructed in the category $D(\mathbb{P}(\operatorname{Sym}^2V))$.
We prove an analogue of Horrocks' splitting theorem for Segre-Veronese varieties building upon the theory of Tate resolutions on products of projective spaces.
Let $X \subset ¶^r$ be a nondegenerate projective variety and let $ν_{\ell} : ¶^r \to ¶^N$ be the $\ell$-th Veronese embedding. In this paper we study the higher normality, defining equations and syzygies among them for the projective embedding $ν_{\ell} (X) \subset ¶^N$. We obtain that for a very ample line bundle $L \in {Pic}X$ such that $X \subset ¶H^0 (X,L)$ is $m$-regular in the sense of Castelnuovo-Mumford, $(X,L^{\ell})$ satisfies property $N_{\ell}$ for all $\ell \geq m$ (Theorem \ref{thm:main1}). This is a generalization of M. Green's work that $(¶^r,\mathcal{O}_{¶^r} (\ell))$ satisfi…
We give an upper bound for the rank of the border rank 3 partially symmetric tensors. In the special case of border rank 3 tensors $T\in V_1\otimes \cdots \otimes V_k$ (Segre case) we can show that all ranks among 3 and $k-1$ arise and if $\dim V_i \geq 3$ for all $i$'s, then also all the ranks between $k$ and $2k-1$ arise.
We prove that every Ulrich bundle on the Veronese surface has a resolution in terms of twists of the trivial bundle over $\mathbb{P}^{2}$. Using this classification, we prove existence results for stable Ulrich bundles over $\mathbb{P}^{k}$ with respect to an arbitrary polarization $dH$.
We consider arc spaces for the compositions of Pluecker and Veronese embeddings of the flag varieties for simple Lie groups of types ADE. The arc spaces are not reduced and we consider the homogeneous coordinate rings of the corresponding reduced schemes. We show that each graded component of a homogeneous coordinate ring is a cocyclic module over the current algebra and is acted upon by the algebra of symmetric polynomials. We show that the action of the polynomial algebra is free and that the fiber at the special point of a graded component is isomorphic to an affine Demazure module whose le…
We formulate several conjectures which shed light on the structure of Veronese syzygies of projective spaces. Our conjectures are based on experimental data that we derived by developing a numerical linear algebra and distributed computation technique for computing and synthesizing new cases of Veronese embeddings for $\mathbb{P}^2$.
We characterize the double Veronese embedding of P^n as the only variety that, under certain general conditions, can be isomorphically projected from the Grassmannian of lines in P^{2n+1} to the Grassmannian of lines in P^{n+1}.
A well known theorem by Alexander-Hirschowitz states that all the higher secant varieties of $V_{n,d}$ (the $d$-uple embedding of $\mathbb{P}^n$) have the expected dimension, with few known exceptions. We study here the same problem for $T_{n,d}$, the tangential variety to $V_{n,d}$, and prove a conjecture, which is the analogous of Alexander-Hirschowitz theorem, for $n\leq 9$. Moreover. we prove that it holds for any $n,d$ if it holds for $d=3$. Then we generalize to the case of $O_{k,n,d}$, the $k$-osculating variety to $V_{n,d}$, proving, for $n=2$, a conjecture that relates the defectivity…
The quadratic Veronese embedding $ρ$ maps the point set $P$ of $\PG{n,F)$ into the point set of $PG({n+2 \choose 2}-1, F$ ($F$ a commutative field) and has the following well-known property: If $M\subset P$, then the intersection of all quadrics containing $M$ is the inverse image of the linear closure of $M^ρ$. In other words, $ρ$ transforms the closure from quadratic into inear. In this paper we use this property to define "quadratic embeddings". We shall prove that if $ν$ is a quadratic embedding of $PG{n,F)$ into $PG(n',F')$ ($F$ a commutative field), then $ρ^{-1}ν$ is dimension-preserving…
We consider the varieties $O_{k,n.d}$ of the k-osculating spaces to the Veronese varieties, the $d-$uple embeddings of $\PP n$; we study the dimension of their higher secant varieties. Via inverse systems (apolarity) and the study of certain spaces of forms we are able, in several cases, to determine whether those secant varieties are defective or not.
We study the minimal free resolution of the Veronese modules of the polynomial ring in n variables, by giving a formula for the Betti numbers in terms of the reduced homology of some skeleton of a simplicial complex. We characterize when they are Cohen-Macaulay and we give a sufficient condition for the linearity of their minimal free resolution. We also conjecture that in 2 variables the Veronese modules have always pure resolutions. In addition, we give a closed formula for their Hilbert series. As an application of our results, we calculate the complete Betti diagrams of the Veronese subrin…
The syzygies of the d-th Veronese embedding of $\mathbb P(V)$ are functors of the complex vector space V. From a certain perspective, we show that as d grows, their Schur functor decomposition is very rich whenever they are not zero. This is deduced from an asymptotic study of related plethysms. We also obtain other results related to a question of Ein and Lazarsfeld.
We study the syzygies of secant ideals of Veronese subrings of a fixed commutative graded algebra over a field of characteristic 0. One corollary is that the degrees of the minimal generators of the ith syzygy module of the coordinate ring of the rth secant variety of any Veronese embedding of a projective scheme X can be bounded by a constant that only depends on i, r, and X, and not on the choice of the Veronese embedding.
We show that high Veronese subrings of any commutative graded ring have a Grobner basis with all relations of degree 2. (The d-th Veronese subring of a ring A_0 + A_1 + A_2 + ... is the ring A_0 + A_d + A_{2d} + ...; ``high'' means we take d sufficiently large, say at least half the regularity of the ideal defining the original ring.) This gives another proof of Backelin's theorem that such Veronese subrings are Koszul algebras (= wonderful rings), i.e., that the minimal resolution of the residue field of such a ring is linear.
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 Veronese variety and linear equations. However this is false for singular varieties, and we give explicit counter-examples to the EKS conjecture for singular curves. The techniques we use also allow us to p…
The rational homology groups of the packing complexes are important in algebraic geometry since they control the syzygies of line bundles on projective embeddings of products of projective spaces (Segre--Veronese varieties). These complexes are a common generalization of the multidimensional chessboard complexes and of the matching complexes of complete uniform hypergraphs, whose study has been a topic of interest in combinatorial topology. We prove that the multivariate version of representation stability, a notion recently introduced and studied by Church and Farb, holds for the homology gro…
Over a field of characteristic zero, we prove that for each r, there exists a constant C(r) so that the prime ideal of the rth secant variety of any Veronese embedding of any projective space is generated by polynomials of degree at most C(r). The main idea is to consider the coordinate ring of all of the ambient spaces of the Veronese embeddings at once by endowing it with the structure of a Hopf ring, and to show that its ideals are finitely generated. We also prove a similar statement for partial flag varieties and, in fact, arbitrary projective schemes, and we also get multi-graded version…
We connect Veronese embeddings to splitting varieties of cup products. We then give an algorithm for constructing splitting varieties for cup products with $\mathbb Z/n$ coefficients, with an explicit calculation for $n=3$. An application to the automatic realization of Galois groups is given.
Secant varieties to Veronese embeddings of projective space are classical varieties whose equations are not completely understood. Minors of catalecticant matrices furnish some of their equations, and in some situations even generate their ideals. Geramita conjectured that this is the case for the secant line variety of the Veronese variety, namely that its ideal is generated by the 3x3 minors of any of the "middle" catalecticants. Part of this conjecture is the statement that the ideals of 3x3 minors are equal for most catalecticants, and this was known to hold set-theoretically. We prove the…
If $\X \subset ¶^n$ is a reduced and irreducible projective variety, it is interesting to find the equations describing the (higher) secant varieties of $\X$. In this paper we find those equations in the following cases: $\X = ¶^{n_1}\times...\times¶^{n_t}\times¶^n$ is the Segre embedding of the product and $n$ is "large" with respect to the $n_i$ (Theorem 2.4); $\X$ is a Segre-Veronese embedding of some products with 2 or three factors; $\X$ is a Del Pezzo surface.
This paper studies the asymptotic behavior of the syzygies of a smooth projective variety X as the positivity of the embedding line bundle grows. We prove that as least as far as grading is concerned, the minimal resolution of the ideal of X has a surprisingly uniform asymptotic shape: roughly speaking, generators eventually appear in almost all degrees permitted by Castelnuovo-Mumford regularity. This suggests in particular that a widely-accepted intuition derived from the case of curves -- namely that syzygies become simpler as the degree of the embedding increases -- may have been misleadin…
This paper deals with syzygies of Segre embeddings. Let d >=3 and n_1, ..., n_d nonzero natural numbers. We prove that O(1,...., 1) on the product of P^{n_1}, ...,P^{n_d} satisfies Property N_p if and only if p <= 3.
We study hybrid models arising as homological projective duals (HPD) of certain projective embeddings $f:X\rightarrow\mathbb{P}(V)$ of Fano manifolds $X$. More precisely, the category of B-branes of such hybrid models corresponds to the HPD category of the embedding $f$. B-branes on these hybrid models can be seen as global matrix factorizations over some compact space $B$ or, equivalently, as the derived category of the sheaf of $\mathcal{A}$-modules on $B$, where $\mathcal{A}$ is an $A_{\infty}$ algebra. This latter interpretation corresponds to a noncommutative resolution of $B$. We compute…
For a smooth subvariety $X\subset\Bbb P^N$, consider (analogously to projective normality) the vanishing condition $H^1(\Bbb P^N,\Cal I^2_X(k))=0$, $k\ge3$. This condition is shown to be satisfied for all sufficiently large embeddings of a given $X$, and for a Veronese embedding of $\Bbb P^n$. For $C\subset\Bbb P^{g-1}$, the canonical embedding of a non-hyperelliptic curve, this condition guarantees the vanishing of some obstruction groups to deformations of the cone. Recall that the tangents to deformations are dual to the cokernel of the Gaussian-Wahl map. \proclaim{Theorem} Suppose the Gaus…
In this paper we will introduce a certain type of morphisms of log schemes (in the sense of Fontaine, Illusie, and Kato) and investigate their moduli. Then by applying this we define a notion of toric algebraic stacks over arbitrary schemes, which may be regarded as torus embeddings within the framework of algebraic stacks, and study some basic properties. Furthermore, we study the stack-theoretic analogue of toroidal embeddings.
We give an explicit description of the terms and differentials of the Tate resolution of sheaves arising from Segre embeddings of $¶^a\times¶^b$. We prove that the maps in this Tate resolution are either coming from Sylvester-type maps, or from Bezout-type maps arising from the so-called toric Jacobian.
