Eisenbud–Koh–Stillman conjecture on determinantal presentations of secant varieties of curves
Eisenbud–Koh–Stillman conjecture on determinantal presentations of secant varieties of curves
Let be a smooth projective curve of genus . For line bundles and on of sufficiently large degree with respect to and , set . The -th secant variety is the closure of the union of the -planes spanned by points of the image of under . The catalecticant matrix is the matrix of the multiplication map . Eisenbud–Koh–Stillman conjecture. The ideal is generated by the -minors of ; in particular, is determinantally presented when is sufficiently large. This conjecture was subsequently verified set-theoretically by Ravi and scheme-theoretically by Ginensky, so the asserted generation statement is solved.
