Conjecture on irreducible components of relative tangency varieties
Conjecture on irreducible components of relative tangency varieties
Let be the determinantal variety of matrices of rank at most , let be the space of symmetric matrices, and let . For , define
With the same notation for the corresponding projective varieties, write .
Conjecture on the components of . For all :
- is an irreducible component of for every .
- is an irreducible component of for every .
- is an irreducible component of for all and even .
These component claims are suggested by symbolic computations for small values of , where additional irreducible components can occur and the varieties need not be nested. The conjecture concerns the persistent components arising from the symmetric and skew-symmetric matrix loci and the relative dual determinantal varieties.
