2 The classic Waring s problem (1770) Lagrange every natural number is the sum of at most 4 squares. Waring in Meditationes Algebricae. every natural number is the sum of at most 9 cubes; every natural number is the sum of at most 19 forth powers. Waring proposed a generalization of Lagrange s four-square theorem every natural number is the sum of at most g(d) d th powers of natural numbers. So g(2) = 4, g(3) = 9, g(4) = 19. 2/103 M.V. Catalisano Secant Varieties
3 The classic Waring s problem Only in 1909 Hilbert proved that g(d) exists for all d. Note that: g(3) = 9 but only 23 e 239 actually need 9 cubes, while 8 cubes suffice for all other natural numbers. Even more is true, and only few natural numbers require 8 cubes and 7 cubes are enough for all large enough natural numbers. 3/103 M.V. Catalisano Secant Varieties
4 The Waring Problem for Polynomials Given a degree d form F in n variables, the Waring Problem for Polynomials asks for the least value of s for which there exist linear forms L 1,..., L s such that F = L d Ld s. This value of s is called the Waring rank of F and will be denoted by rk(f), so rk(f) = min{s F = L d Ld s }. 4/103 M.V. Catalisano Secant Varieties
5 Veronese Variety A Veronese Variety is the image of the embedding ν d : P n P N N = ( ) n+d n 1 via the forms of degree d of the homogeneous coordinate ring R = C[x 0,..., x n ]. 5/103 M.V. Catalisano Secant Varieties
6 Example ν 2 : P 2 P 5 (a, b, c) (a 2, ab, ac, b 2, bc, c 2 ) 6/103 M.V. Catalisano Secant Varieties
7 Veronese Variety A Veronese Variety is the image of the embedding P n = P(R 1 ) P N = P(R d ) [L] [L d ] 7/103 M.V. Catalisano Secant Varieties
8 Example ν 2 : P 2 P 5 [ax +by +cz] [a 2 x 2 +2abxy +2acxz +b 2 y 2 +2bcyz +c 2 z 2 ]. Hence, if we use as a basis for R d the monomial of degree d and order them lexicographically and write things with respect to coordinates, we get that the map is defined by (a, b, c) (a 2, 2ab, 2ac, b 2, 2bc, c 2 ). 8/103 M.V. Catalisano Secant Varieties
9 Veronese Variety It is clear that the two methods of describing the Veronese embeddings are equivalent in characteristic zero. The second method gives us a bridge between the Waring problem for forms and the higher secant varieties of the Veronese variety. Recall that the Waring rank of F = min{s F = L d Ld s }. Example 4xy = (x + y) 2 + (ix iy) 2 (0, 4, 0) = (1, 2, 1) + ( 1, 2, 1) 9/103 M.V. Catalisano Secant Varieties
10 HIGHER SECANT VARIETIES 10/103 M.V. Catalisano Secant Varieties
11 Definition of higher secant variety Let X P N be a reduced, irreducible, non-degenerate projective variety, i.e., X arises as the set of zeros of a prime homogeneous ideal which does not contain any linear forms (i.e. X does not lie in any projective linear subspace of P N ). The s th secant variety of X, denoted by σ s (X), is the closure of the union of all linear spaces spanned by s linearly independent points of X, that is σ s (X) := P i X < P 1,..., P s > When s = 2 we refer to σ s (X) as the secant line variety, when s = 3 the secant plane variety and so on. 11/103 M.V. Catalisano Secant Varieties
12 General forms Example. If F is a general form of degree d in n + 1 variables, then the rank of F is the minimum s such that σ s (X) fiills the ambient space, where X is the Veronese variety ν d (P n ). 12/103 M.V. Catalisano Secant Varieties
13 Problem Important questions to answer about σ s (X). What is the minimal free resolution of the ideal of σ s (X)? What is the degree of σ s (X)? What are the equations defining σ s (X)? What is the dimension of σ s (X)? 13/103 M.V. Catalisano Secant Varieties
14 Dimension of Secant Variety By a parameter count we get exp dim σ s (X) = min{s dim X + s 1; N} If σ s (X) does not have the expected dimension, we say that X is defective. Note that, for s(dim X + 1) N + 1 we expect σ s (X) to fill P N, and it is not a coincidence that: dim X + 1 is the degree of a double point on X. 14/103 M.V. Catalisano Secant Varieties
15 Motivation Strong motivation for studying the secant varieties connections to questions in Representation Theory, Coding Theory, Algebraic Complexity Theory, Statistics, Phylogenetics, Data Analysis, Electrical Engineering (Antenna Array Processing and Telecommunications), etc 15/103 M.V.

16 Secant Varieties and Tensor decomposition Connection with the problem of how to minimally represent certain kinds of tensors as a sum of decomposable ones: Rank of Tensors 16/103 M.V. Catalisano Secant Varieties
17 Secant Varieties of Segre-Veronese Varieties and Tensor decomposition Example: The Segre-Veronese Variety is the image of the mapping ν (d1,...,d t ) : P(V 1 )... P(V t ) P(S d 1 V 1... S d t V t ) [v 1 ]... [v t ] [v d v d t t ], hence parameterizes partially symmetric tensors. 17/103 M.V. Catalisano Secant Varieties
18 Segre Variety A Segre Variety is the image of the embedding ν (1,...,1) : P n 1... P n t P N N = Π(n i + 1) 1 via the forms of multi-degree (1,..., 1) of the multi-graded homogeneous coordinate ring C[x 0,1,..., x n1,1; x 0,2,..., x n2,2;...; x 0,t,..., x nt,t]. 18/103 M.V. Catalisano Secant Varieties
19 Example ν (1,1,1) : P 1 P 1 P 1 P 7 (x 0, x 1 ) (y 0, y 1 ) (z 0, z 1 ) (x 0 y 0 z 0, x 0 y 0 z 1, x 0 y 1 z 0, x 0 y 1 z 1, x 1 y 0 z 0, x 1 y 0 z 1, x 1 y 1 z 0, x 1 y 1 z 1 ). 19/103 M.V. Catalisano Secant Varieties
20 Segre-Veronese Variety A Segre-Veronese Variety is the image of the embedding ν (d1,...,d t ) : P n 1... P n t P N N = Π ( d i +n i n i ) 1 via the forms of multi-degree (d 1,..., d t ) of the multi-graded homogeneous coordinate ring C[x 0,1,..., x n1,1; x 0,2,..., x n2,2;...; x 0,t,..., x nt,t]. For t = 1, X is a Veronese Variety. For d 1 = = d t = 1, X is a Segre Variety. 20/103 M.V. Catalisano Secant Varieties
21 Example ν (1,2) : P 2 P 1 P 8 (x 0, x 1, x 2 ) (y 0, y 1 ) (x 0 y 2 0, x 0y 0 y 1, x 0 y 2 1, x 1y 2 0, x 1y 0 y 1, x 1 y 2 1, x 2y 2 0, x 2y 0 y 1, x 2 y 2 1 ). 21/103 M.V. Catalisano Secant Varieties
22 Varieties of λ-reducible forms In 1954, Mammana introduced the varieties of reducible plane curves: consider the space S d of forms of degree d in 3 variables and let λ = (d 1,..., d r ) be a partition of d. ( ) 2 + d X 2,λ P N, N = 1 d is the variety parameterizing forms F which are the product of r forms F i with deg F i = d i, that is, F = F 1 F r S d. 22/103 M.V. Catalisano Secant Varieties
23 Varieties of λ-reducible forms The varieties of reducible hypersurfaces are an obvious generalization: consider the space S d of forms of degree d in n + 1 variables and let λ = (d 1,..., d r ) be a partition of d. ( ) n + d X n,λ P N, N = 1 d is the variety parameterizing forms F which are the product of r forms F i with deg F i = d i F = F 1 F r S d. 23/103 M.V. Catalisano Secant Varieties
24 METHOD FOR SEGRE-VERONESE 24/103 M.V. Catalisano Secant Varieties
25 Method for Segre-Veronese The problem of determining the dimension of σ s (X) is related (via the theory of inverse systems or, equivalently, apolarity) to determining the Hilbert Function of a 0-dimensional scheme made by the first infinitesimal neighbourhoods of s generic points (this is equivalent to what is classically known as Terracini s Lemma). 25/103 M.V. Catalisano Secant Varieties
26 Step 1 - Terracini s Lemma Let P σ s (X) be a generic point P < P 1,..., P s >, (P i X P N ). Then by Terracini s Lemma : T P (σ s (X)) =< T P1 (X),..., T Ps (X) > =< 2P 1 X P s X > hence dim σ s (X) = dim T P (σ s (X)) = dim < 2P 1 X P s X > = N dim(i 2P1 X P s X ) 1. 26/103 M.V. Catalisano Secant Varieties
27 Step 2 : Segre-Veronese map Let ν (d1,...,d t ) : (P n 1... P n t ) X P N Q i P n 1... P n t ; P i X Q i P i the scheme of double points 2P 1 X P s X X corresponds to the scheme 2Q Q s P n 1... P n t. 27/103 M.V. Catalisano Secant Varieties
28 Step 2 : Segre-Veronese map and we have hence dim(i 2P1 X P s X ) 1 = dim(i 2Q Q s ) (d1,...,d t ) dim σ s (X) = N dim(i 2P1 X P s X ) 1 = N dim(i 2Q Q s ) (d1,...,d t ) = HF (2Q Q s, (d 1,..., d t )) 1 28/103 M.V. Catalisano Secant Varieties
29 Veronese Varieties Thus, in case X is the Veronese Variety, we have dim σ s (X) = = N dim(i 2Q Q s ) d = HF (2Q Q s, d) 1 29/103 M.V. Catalisano Secant Varieties
30 Veronese Varieties The work by J. Alexander and A. Hirschowitz (1995) confirmed that apart from the quadratic Veronese varieties and a (few) well known exceptions, all the Veronese varieties X = ν d (P n ) have higher secant varieties of the expected dimension. More precisely, σ s (X) is defective only in the following cases: d = 2 and 2 s n; n = 2, d = 4, s = 5; n = 3, d = 4, s = 9; n = 4, d = 3, s = 7; n = 4, d = 4, s = 14. Hence if X is a Veronese Variety the problem of finding the dimension of σ s (X) is solved and the Waring Problem for a generic polynomial is solved also. 30/103 M.V. Catalisano Secant Varieties
31 Veronese Varieties Except the cases listed above, if F is a generic form of degree d in n + 1 variables. rk(f) = ( d+n n n + 1 ) (Alexander - Hirschowitz, 1995). 31/103 M.V. Catalisano Secant Varieties
32 Example of a defective Segre variety X = the Segre embedding of P 1 P 2 P 5 P 35 is defective for s = 5 exp dim σ 5 (X) = min{ ; N} = min{44; 35} = 35 = N that is, we expect σ 5 (X) = P N, i.e., we expect that the ideal of 5 double points in degree (1, 1, 1) is zero. But there exist F 1 of degree (1, 1, 0), and F 2 of degree (0, 0, 1) in the ideal of 5 points, hence F = F 1 F 2 is a form of degree (1, 1, 1) in the ideal of 5 double points. 32/103 M.V. Catalisano Secant Varieties
33 Step 3: the Multiprojective-Affine-Projective Method Let T = k[x 0,1,..., x n1,1; x 0,2,..., x n2,2;...; x 0,t,..., x nt,t] be the multigraded homogeneus coordinate ring of P n 1... P n t. Let S = k[t, x 1,1,..., x n1,1; x 1,2,..., x n2,2;...; x 1,t,..., x nt,t] be the coordinate ring of P n n t. 33/103 M.V. Catalisano Secant Varieties
34 Step 3: the Multiprojective-Affine-Projective Method where dim T (d1,...,d t ) = dim(i W ) (d d t ) T (d1,...,d t ) is the vector space of the forms of multidegree (d 1,..., d t ) of T ; W = (n n t )Λ 1 +(n 1 +n n t )Λ (n n t 1 )Λ t and the Λ i P n i 1 are generic linear spaces of P n n t. (Examples: ν (2,1,1) (P 1 P 5 P 5 ), ν (2,1) (P 2 P 1 )). 34/103 M.V. Catalisano Secant Varieties
35 Step 3: the Multiprojective-Affine-Projective Method Then dim(i 2Q Q s ) (d1,...,d t ) = dim(i W +2P P s ) d d t where thus W + 2P P s P n n t P 1,..., P s are generic points W = (n n t )Λ (n n t 1 )Λ t Λ i P n i 1 P n n t are generic linear spaces dim σ s (X) = N dim(i 2Q Q s ) (d1,...,d t ) = N dim(i W +2P P s ) d d t = 1 + number of conditions that 2P P s imposes to the forms of (I W ) d d t 35/103 M.V. Catalisano Secant Varieties
36 Notation P n 1... P n t (d 1,..., d t ) instead of ν (d1,...,d t )(P n 1... P n t ). 36/103 M.V. Catalisano Secant Varieties
37 Example of a defective Segre-Veronese variety P 1 P 5 P 5 (2, 1, 1) is defective for 7 s 11 N = = 107; expdim σ 7 (X) = 7x12 1 = 83; W = 2Λ 1 + 3Λ 2 + 3Λ 3 P 11 where Λ 1 P 0, Λ 2 P 4, Λ 3 P 4, i.e., W is a subscheme of P 11 formed by one double point and two triple linear spaces of dimension 4; there exists an r.n.c. C maximally intersecting the configuration Λ 2 + Λ points (, Carlini (2009)); deg C deg F = 11 4 = 44, where F (I W +2P P 7 ) 4 ; degree (C (W + 2P P 7 )) = = 46. Then we conclude that our variety is 7-defective. 37/103 M.V. Catalisano Secant Varieties
38 Example of a defective Segre-Veronese variety expdim σ 11 (X) = 107; N = 107; hence we expect that σ 11 (X) = P 107 or, equivalently, that there are not forms of degree 4 in (I W +2P P 11 ), where W is as above, that is, W is a subscheme of P 11 formed by one double point and two triple linear spaces Λ 1 and Λ 2 of dimension 4. But there is a quadric S 1 through 2Λ 1 + Λ 2 + the 12 points, and, analogously, there is a quadric S 2 through Λ 1 + 2Λ 2 + the 12 points. (In fact the quadrics of P 11 are 78, and the conditions given to the quadrics by 2Λ 1 + Λ points are = 77). The form corresponding to the quartic S 1 S 2 is in (I W +2P P 11 ) 4. 38/103 M.V. Catalisano Secant Varieties
39 Example of a non defective Segre-Veronese variety P 2 P 1 (2, 1) exp dim σ s (X) = min{4s 1; 11} hence we expect σ 3 (X) to fill P N and dim σ 2 (X) = 7. W P 3 is formed by a line, say L, and one double point, say 2P 0. Since dim(i L+2P0 +2P 1 +2P 2 ) 3 = 4 dim(i L+2P0 +2P 1 +2P 2 +2P 3 ) 3 = 0 we have dim σ 2 (X) = 11 4 = 7 dim σ 3 (X) = /103 M.V. Catalisano Secant Varieties
40 Example of a defective Segre-Veronese variety P 2 P 5 (2, 1) is defective iff s = 5 Let X = ν (2,1) (P 2 P 5 ) P 35 ; Y = ν (1,1) (P 5 P 5 ) P 35. By a direct computation, we get σ 4 (X) = σ 4 (Y)=31. Hence σ s (X) = σ s (Y) for s 4. Since dim σ 4 (Y) = 31 exp dim σ 4 (X) = 31 dim σ 5 (Y) = 34, dim σ 6 (Y) = 35 exp dim σ 5 (X) = exp dim σ 6 (X) = 35 we have that X is defective iff s = 5. 40/103 M.V. Catalisano Secant Varieties
41 Step 4: Specialization and méthode d Horace Recall that: let Z P n be a scheme corresponding to the ideal sheaf I Z and let H P n be a hyperplane. The trace of Z with respect to H is the schematic intersection Tr H (Z ) = Z H. The Residual Res H (Z ) of Z with respect to H is defined by the ideal sheaf I Z : O P n( H). Taking the global sections of the exact sequence 0 I ResH Z (d 1) I Z (d) I TrH (Z )(d) 0, we obtain the so called Castelnuovo exact sequence 0 (I ResH Z ) d 1 (I Z ) d (I TrH (Z )) d from which we get the following inequality dim(i Z ) d dim(i ResH Z ) d 1 + dim(i TrH (Z )) d. 41/103 M.V. Catalisano Secant Varieties
42 Step 4: Specialization and méthode d Horace In order to compute dim(i W +2P P s ) d d t, specialize the scheme Y = W + 2P P s by placing some of the P i on a hyperplane. Let Ỹ be the specialized scheme. In some cases, specialize Y in such a way that new linear spaces are in the base locus for the hypersurfaces defined by the forms of (IỸ ) d d t. then use Castelnuovo Lemma dim(iỹ ) d dim(i ResH Ỹ ) d 1 + dim(i TrH Ỹ ) d (where H is a hyperplane) or Horace Differential Lemma (example: σ 4 (ν (2,1) (P 2 P 1 )). 42/103 M.V. Catalisano Secant Varieties
43 Example P 1... P 1 (t times ) (1,..., 1) s even; s = 2h we have to compute dim(i X ) t where X = (t 1)Q (t 1)Q t + 2P P 2h. Example: for t = 7 and s = 16 we have to compute (Note that 2 7 = 128 = 16 8)) dim(i 6Q Q 7 +2P P 16 ) 7 43/103 M.V. Catalisano Secant Varieties
44 Specialize on a hyperplane H the points Q 2,..., Q 7, P 1,..., P 8. The 8 lines L 1 = Q 1 P 9,..., L 8 = Q 1 P 16 are in the base locus of the hypersurfaces defined by the forms of (I X ) 7, hence where (I X ) 7 = (I Y ) 7 Y = X + L L 8. Now use Castelnuovo Lemma: and induction. dim(i Y ) 7 dim(i ResH Y ) 6 + dim(i TrH Y ) 7 44/103 M.V. Catalisano Secant Varieties
45 Since the hypersurfaces defined by the forms of (I ResH Y ) 6 are cones with vertex in Q 1 we have dim(i ResH Y ) 6 = dim(i 5Q Q 7 +P 1 + +P 8 +2P P 16 ) 6. Since < Q 2,..., Q 7 > is in the base locus of the hypersurfaces defined by the forms of (I TrH Y ) 7, we get dim(i TrH Y ) 7 = dim(i 5Q Q 7 +2P P 8 +8 simple points ) 6 and now we are in P 1... P 1 (6 times ) (1,..., 1) 45/103 M.V. Catalisano Secant Varieties
46 SECANT VARIETIES OF SEGRE VARIETIES WITH 2 FACTORS 46/103 M.V. Catalisano Secant Varieties
47 Segre of two factors P m P n (1, 1) everything is well known The case for Segre varieties with two factors is very well understood since all of the theory is in terms of ranks of matrices and that is understood very well from both an algebraic and geometric standpoint. 47/103 M.V. Catalisano Secant Varieties
48 Segre of two factors ALL THE THEORY IS IN TERMS OF RANKS OF MATRICES Example: P 2 P 3 P 11. a 0 a 1 [ ] a 0 b 0 a 0 b 1 a 0 b 2 a 0 b 3 b 0 b 1 b 2 b 3 = a 1 b 0 a 1 b 1 a 1 b 2 a 1 b 3 a 2 a 2 b 0 a 2 b 1 a 2 b 2 a 2 b 3 The product of the two projective spaces (P m P n ) can be identified with the (m + 1) (n + 1) matrices of rank 1 and the general points on σ s (X) are the sums of s matrices of rank 1. (A matrix has rank s if and only if it is the sum of s matrices of rank 1.) In the example dim σ 2 (X) = 11 2 = 9 48/103 M.V. Catalisano Secant Varieties
49 By our method Example: P 2 P 3 P 11. exp dim σ s (X) = min{6s 1; 11} hence exp dim σ 2 (X) = 11 dim σ 2 (X) = 11 dim(i W +2P1 +2P 2 ) 2 W P 5 is formed by a line and a plane. By projecting from the two points P 1 and P 2 we get dim(i W +2P1 +2P 2 ) 2 = dim(i W ) 2 where W P 3 is still formed by a line and a plane, hence dim σ 2 (X) = 11 2 = 9. 49/103 M.V.

83 Answers The problem of finding rk(f) is solved in few cases: F has degree 2. rk(f) = rk(m) where M is the symmetric matrix associated to F. 83/103 M.V. Catalisano Secant Varieties
84 Answers F is a binary form, that is, F C[x, y]. We have the Sylvester s algorithm (Sylvester 1886; Comas Seiguer 2001; Brachat, Comon, Mourrain,Tsigaridas 2009; Bernardi, Gimigliano, Idà (2011)). Let F = { C[X, Y ] F = 0}. In this case F = (f 1, f 2 ). If deg f 1 deg f 2 we have { deg f1 if f rk(f) = 1 is square free deg f 2 otherwise 84/103 M.V. Catalisano Secant Varieties

86 Answers F C[x, y, z] has degree 3, i.e. F represents a cubic curve. We have an explicit algorithm (Comon, Mourrain, Reznick; 1996). In particular we have that : the maximum rank for a ternary cubic is 5. 86/103 M.V. Catalisano Secant Varieties
87 Maximum rank A natural question arises: What is the maximum rank for a form of degree d in n variables?. 87/103 M.V. Catalisano Secant Varieties
88 Answers The maximum rank for ternary quartics is 7. The maximum rank for ternary quintics is 10. (De Paris, 2015) 88/103 M.V. Catalisano Secant Varieties
89 Answers F is a monomial. rk(x a 0 0 x am m ) = (a 1 + 1) (a m + 1) where 1 a 0... a m (Carlini, -, Geramita, 2011) (Buczynska, Buczynski, Teitler, 2012) 89/103 M.V. Catalisano Secant Varieties

93 Answers F = x a 0 G(x 1,..., x n ) If G = (g 1,..., g n ) is a complete intersection and deg g i a + 1, then rk(f) = Π n 1 deg g i (Carlini, -, Chiantini, Geramita, Woo, 2015) 93/103 M.V. Catalisano Secant Varieties
94 METHOD TO FIND THE WARING RANK OF A SPECIFIC FORM 94/103 M.V. Catalisano Secant Varieties
95 Method Apolarity Lemma Let S = C[x 0,..., x n ], T = C[X 0,..., X n ], F S d, F = { T F = 0}. Let L 1,..., L r be pairwise linearly independent linear forms, with L i corresponding to the point P i, and X = {P 1,..., P r }, then F = a 1 L d a r L d r I X F. 95/103 M.V. Catalisano Secant Varieties
96 Method Let rk(f) = r, let X be a set of points apolar to F. Let t T be a linear form corresponding to the linear space Π, and let I Y = I X : (t), ( so Y = X \ Π). Since t is a non-zero divisor int /I Y, we have the following exact sequence 0 (T /I Y ) i 1 t (T /I Y ) i (T /(I Y + (t))) i 0, for t >> 0, we get Y = HF (T /I Y, t) =. t HF(T /(I Y + (t)), i) = l(t /(I Y + (t))). i=0 96/103 M.V. Catalisano Secant Varieties
97 Method Hence, since I X F, we get X Y = l(t /(I Y + (t))) = l(t /(I X : (t) + (t))) l(t /F : (t) + (t)), and so we have a lower bound for rk(f). 97/103 M.V. Catalisano Secant Varieties
98 Example F = x 2 y 2 z 3 C[x, y, z] Let Π = {X = 0}. Since F : (X) = (X F) = (2xy 2 z 3 ) = (X 2, Y 3, Z 4 ), we have F : (X) + (X) = (X, Y 3, Z 4 ) and so HF (T /(F : (X) + (X))) = Hence rk(f) /103 M.V. Catalisano Secant Varieties
99 Example Now since the ideal F = (x 2 y 2 z 3 ) = (X 3, Y 3, Z 4 ), (X 4 Z 4, Y 4 Z 4 ) F is the ideal of 12 distinct points. It follows that rk(f) /103 M.V. Catalisano Secant Varieties
100 Final observation Now note that F = x(y 2 + z 2 ) = xy 2 + xz 2. rk(xy 2 ) = 3 ; rk(xz 2 ) = 3 ; rk(f) = 4 < rk(xy 2 ) + rk(xz 2 ). 100/103 M.V. Catalisano Secant Varieties
101 Example But if we consider F = xy 2 + zw 2 C[x, y, z, w] since rk(xy 2 ) = 3 ; rk(zw 2 ) = 3 ; rk(f) = 6, we have rk(f) = rk(xy 2 ) + rk(zw 2 ). 101/103 M.V. Catalisano Secant Varieties
102 Strassen s Additivity Conjecture Let F and G be homogeneous polynomials in different sets of variables. rk(f + G) = rk(f) + rk(g)? 102/103 M.V. Catalisano Secant Varieties
