Asymptotic equations and syzygies conjecture for secant varieties

Let XX be a smooth variety, let LL be an ample line bundle on XX, and fix an integer k1k\geq 1. For sufficiently large nn, the line bundle LnL^n defines an embedding of XX; write SeckXSec^kX for the resulting kk-th secant variety. Asymptotic secant-variety conjecture. For all n0n\gg0, SeckXSec^kX is ideal theoretically defined by forms of degree k+2k+2, and furthermore satisfies condition (Kk+2)(K_{k+2}). This conjecture proposes uniform asymptotic control of both equations and syzygies of secant varieties; the supplied source gives no resolution status beyond presenting it as a basic conjectural statement.
