A Dimension Formula for the Nucleus of a Veronese Variety∗
نویسندگان
چکیده
The nucleus of a Veronese variety is the intersection of all its osculating hyperplanes. Various authors have given necessary and sufficient conditions for the nucleus to be empty. We present an explicit formula for the dimension of this nucleus for arbitrary characteristic of the ground field. As a corollary, we obtain a dimension formula for that subspace in the t–th symmetric power of a finite–dimensional vector space V which is spanned by the powers at with a ∈ V.

On the Secant Defectivity of Segre-veronese Varieties
Let X ⊆ PN be a non-degenerate projective variety of dimension d. Then the sth secant variety of X, denoted σs(X), is the Zariski closure of the union of linear spans of s-tuples of points lying on X. The study of secant varieties has a long history. The interest in this subject goes back to the Italian school at the turn of the 20th century. This topic has received renewed interest over the pa...
متن کاملSecant Varieties of Segre-veronese Varieties
In this paper we study the dimension of secant varieties of Segre-Veronese varieties P × P embedded by the morphism given by O(1, 2). Given the dimensions m, n, we provide two functions s(m, n) and s(m, n), such that the s secant variety is nondefective, i.e. it has the expected dimension, if s ≤ s(m, n) or s ≥ s(m, n). Finally, we present a conjecturally complete list of defective secant varie...

Let Xm,n be the Segre-Veronese variety P m ×P embedded by the morphism given by O(1, 2). In this paper, we provide two functions s(m, n) ≤ s(m, n) such that the s secant variety of Xm,n has the expected dimension if s ≤ s(m,n) or s(m, n) ≤ s. We also present a conjecturally complete list of defective secant varieties of such Segre-Veronese varieties.
متن کاملVeronese varieties over fields with non-zero characteristic: a survey
Non-zero characteristic of the (commutative) ground field F heavily influences the geometric properties of Veronese varieties and, in particular, normal rational curves. Best known is probably the fact that, in case of characteristic two, all tangents of a conic are concurrent. This has lead to the concept of a nucleus. However, it seems that there are essentially distinct definitions. Some aut...
متن کاملOn non-defectivity of certain Segre-Veronese varieties
Let Xm,n be the Segre-Veronese variety Pm×Pn embedded by the morphism given by O(1, 2) and let σs(Xm,n) denote the sth secant variety to Xm,n. In this paper, we prove that if m = n or m = n+1, then σs(Xm,n) has the expected dimension except for σ6(X4,3). As an immediate consequence, we will give function s1(m,n) ≤ s2(m,n) such that if s ≤ s1(m,n) or if s ≥ s2(m,n), then σs(Xm,n) has the expecte...
