The determinantal generation conjecture for secant varieties
The determinantal generation conjecture for secant varieties
Let be a projective scheme embedded by the complete linear series of a sufficiently ample line bundle, and let denote the Zariski closure of the union of the linear spaces spanned by collections of points on , where is a positive integer. Determinantal generation conjecture. The homogeneous ideal of is generated by the -minors of a -generic matrix of linear forms. This is proposed as a natural generalization of the theorem that sufficiently ample line bundles give determinantal presentations; its validity for arbitrary projective schemes and all positive integers remains open.
