Eisenbud–Koh–Stillman secant-variety determinantal conjecture for embedded curves
Eisenbud–Koh–Stillman secant-variety determinantal conjecture for embedded curves
Let be a smooth curve and let be a very ample line bundle defining an embedding of . For each integer , let denote the -th secant variety. Eisenbud–Koh–Stillman conjecture. There is a bound on the degree of such that is ideal theoretically defined by the minors of a matrix of linear forms. The conjecture predicts determinantal equations for secant varieties of sufficiently positive embedded curves; the cited result of M. S. Ravi gives a set-theoretic version under the bound , while the ideal-theoretic assertion remains unresolved in the source.
