16,051 formulas for Ottaviani's invariant of cubic threefolds

Algebraic Geometry 2015-05-01 v2 Commutative Algebra Combinatorics

Abstract

We provide explicit combinatorial formulas for Ottaviani's degree 15 invariant which detects cubics in 5 variables that are sums of 7 cubes. Our approach is based on the chromatic properties of certain graphs and relies on computer searches and calculations.
