The secant-syzygy conjecture for Veronese varieties
The secant-syzygy conjecture for Veronese varieties
Let be the -uple Veronese embedding of , with and , and let be its secant variety. Write for the indicated syzygy property. Secant-syzygy conjecture. The secant variety satisfies
This is suggested by computations for and , together with known cases for rational normal curves and the preceding conjecture on Veronese syzygies. The source gives no proof or resolution status.
