Varieties with Quadratic Entry Locus, Ii

چکیده
We continue the study, begun in [Ru07], of secant defective man-ifolds having " simple entry loci ". We prove that such manifolds are rational and describe them in terms of tangential projections. Using also [IR07], their classification is reduced to the case of Fano manifolds of high index, whose Picard group is generated by the hyperplane section class. Conjecturally, the former should be linear sections of rational homogeneous manifolds. We also provide evidence that the classification of linearly normal dual defective man-ifolds with Picard group generated by the hyperplane section should follow along the same lines.

Quadratic Entry Locus Varieties
We shall introduce and study quadratic entry locus varieties, a class of projective algebraic varieties whose extrinsic and intrinsic geometry is very rich. Let us recall that, for an irreducible non-degenerate variety X ⊂ P of dimension n ≥ 1, the secant defect of X , denoted by δ(X), is the difference between the expected dimension and the effective dimension of the secant variety SX ⊆ P of X...

متن کاملProjective planes over quadratic 2-dimensional algebras
The split version of the Freudenthal-Tits magic square stems from Lie theory and constructs a Lie algebra starting from two split composition algebras [5, 20, 21]. The geometries appearing in the second row are Severi varieties [24]. We provide an easy uniform axiomatization of these geometries and related ones, over an arbitrary field. In particular we investigate the entry A2 × A2 in the magi...

متن کاملManifolds Covered by Lines, Defective Manifolds and a Restricted Hartshorne Conjecture
Small codimensional embedded manifolds defined by equations of small degree are Fano and covered by lines. They are complete intersections exactly when the variety of lines through a general point is so and has the right codimension. This allows us to prove the Hartshorne Conjecture for manifolds defined by quadratic equations and to obtain the list of such Hartshorne manifolds. Using the geome...
