Landsberg–Weyman conjecture on generators of tangential ideals of Segre varieties
Let be a Segre variety, and let denote the homogeneous ideal of its tangential variety. The relevant Schur-module factors are expressed using exterior powers and Schur functors . Landsberg–Weyman conjecture. The ideal is generated by the submodules of quadrics which have at least four factors, the cubics with four factors and all other factors , the cubics with at least one factor, and the quartics with three factors and all other factors . This gives an explicit representation-theoretic description of the generators of the ideal of the tangential variety in the Segre case; the surrounding paper presents it as the next goal after determining the coordinate ring of tangential varieties, and the supplied text gives no resolution status.
