Hadamard Products of Linear Spaces

arXiv:1504.04301

Abstract

We describe properties of Hadamard products of algebraic varieties. We show any Hadamard power of a line is a linear space, and we construct star configurations from products of collinear points. Tropical geometry is used to find the degree of Hadamard products of other linear spaces.
