Abstract

Let X(1,d)(n,m)X^{(n,m)}_{(1,d)} denote the Segre-Veronese embedding of Pn×Pm\mathbb{P}^n \times \mathbb{P}^m via the sections of the sheaf O(1,d)\mathcal{O}(1,d). We study the dimensions of higher secant varieties of X(1,d)(n,m)X^{(n,m)}_{(1,d)} and we prove that there is no defective sths^{th} secant variety, except possibly for nn values of ss. Moreover when (m+dd){m+d \choose d} is multiple of (m+n+1)(m+n+1), the sths^{th} secant variety of X(1,d)(n,m)X^{(n,m)}_{(1,d)} has the expected dimension for every ss.
