Secant Varieties and Birational Geometry
We show how to use information about the equations defining secant varieties to smooth projective varieties in order to construct a natural collection of birational transformations. These were first constructed as flips in the case of curves by M. Thaddeus via Geometric Invariant Theory, and the first flip in the sequence was constructed by the author for varieties of arbitrary dimension in an ...
متن کاملBirational geometry of defective varieties
Here we investigate the birational geometry of projective varieties of arbitrary dimension having defective higher secant varieties. We apply the classical tool of tangential projections and we determine natural conditions for uniruledness, rational connectivity, and rationality. AMS Subject Classification: 14N05.
متن کاملSecant varieties
The goal of this talk is to introduce secant varieies and show connections of secant varieties of Veronese variety to the Waring problem. 1 Secant varieties Let X ⊂ P be a variety over k, where k is algebraically closed field of characteristic 0 (or just assume k = C). Definition 1.1. For s ≥ 1 the s-th higher secant variety of X is
متن کاملExercises in the Birational Geometry of Algebraic Varieties
The book [KM98] gave an introduction to the birational geometry of algebraic varieties, as the subject stood in 1998. The developments of the last decade made the more advanced parts of Chapters 6 and 7 less important and the detailed treatment of surface singularities in Chapter 4 less necessary. However, the main parts, Chapters 1–3 and 5, still form the foundations of the subject. These note...
متن کاملSecant Varieties of Toric Varieties
If X is a smooth projective toric variety of dimension n we give explicit conditions on characters of the torus giving an embedding X →֒ Pr that guarantee dimSecX = 2n+ 1. We also give necessary and sufficient conditions for a general point of SecX to lie on a unique secant line when X is embedded into Pr using a complete linear system. For X of dimension 2 and 3 we give formulas for deg SecX in...
