The second fundamental theorem conjecture for the determinant orbit closure
The second fundamental theorem conjecture for the determinant orbit closure
Let be the determinant function and let be the class variety associated with , namely the orbit closure of the determinant. Let be the variety and scheme defined by the ideal generated by the representation-theoretic modules in . Second fundamental theorem conjecture. One has
as a variety, and more strongly, as a scheme. This asks whether the ideal of the determinant orbit closure is generated by these representation-theoretic equations; the analogous assertion is known for homogeneous varieties such as , but the determinant orbit closure is a central unresolved case in geometric complexity theory.
