On the prime ideals of higher secant varieties of Veronese embeddings of small degrees
Katsuhisa Furukawa, Kangjin Han
In this paper, we study minimal generators of the (saturated) defining ideal of the -secant variety of the image of the -uple Veronese embedding $v_d…
On the singular loci of higher secant varieties of Veronese embeddings
Katsuhisa Furukawa, Kangjin Han
The -th secant variety of a projective variety , denoted by , is defined to be the closure of the union of -planes spanned by points o…
Cubic hypersurfaces with positive dual defects
Katsuhisa Furukawa
We show that if a cubic hypersurface with positive dual defect over the complex number field is not a cone, then either the hypersurface coincides with the secant variety of the si…
On separable higher Gauss maps
Katsuhisa Furukawa, Atsushi Ito
We study the -th Gauss map in the sense of F.~L.~Zak of a projective variety over an algebraically closed field in any characteristic. For all integer $…
Dimension of the space of conics on Fano hypersurfaces
Katsuhisa Furukawa
R. Beheshti showed that, for a smooth Fano hypersurface of degree over the complex number field , the dimension of the space of lines lying in is equal…
