Secant Dimensions of Minimal Orbits: Computations and Conjectures
نویسندگان
چکیده
We present an algorithm for computing the dimensions of higher secant varieties of minimal orbits. Experiments with this algorithm lead to many conjectures on secant dimensions, especially of Grassmannians and Segre products. For these two classes of minimal orbits, we also point out a relation between the existence of certain codes and non-defectiveness of certain higher secant varieties.

Proofs of two conjectures on the dimensions of binary codes
Let L and L0 be the binary codes generated by the column F2null space of the incidence matrix of the external points and passant lines and that of the incidence matrix of the internal points and secant lines with respect to a conic in PG(2, q), respectively. We confirm the conjectures on the dimensions of L and L0 using methods from both finite geometry and modular representation theory.
متن کاملInduction for secant varieties of Segre varieties
This paper studies the dimension of secant varieties to Segre varieties. The problem is cast both in the setting of tensor algebra and in the setting of algebraic geometry. An inductive procedure is built around the ideas of successive specializations of points and projections. This reduces the calculation of the dimension of the secant variety in a high dimensional case to a sequence of calcul...
متن کاملDimensions of Group-based Phylogenetic Mixtures
In this paper we study group-based Markov models of evolution and their mixtures. In the algebreo-geometric setting, group-based phylogenetic tree models correspond to toric varieties, while their mixtures correspond to secant and join varieties. Determining properties of these secant and join varieties can aid both in model selection and establishing parameter identifiability. Here we explore ...
متن کاملSecant 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 کاملSecant Dimensions of Low-dimensional Homogeneous Varieties
We completely describe the higher secant dimensions of all connected homogeneous projective varieties of dimension at most 3, in all possible equivariant embeddings. In particular, we calculate these dimensions for all Segre-Veronese embeddings of P1 × P1, P1 × P1 × P1, and P2 × P1, as well as for the variety F of incident point-line pairs in P2. For P2 × P1 and F the results are new, while the...
