Identifiability and singular locus of secant varieties to spinor varieties

Algebraic Geometry 2025-10-16 v2

Abstract

In this work we analyze the Spin(V)Spin(V)-structure of the secant variety of lines σ2(S)\sigma_{2}(\mathbb{S}) to a Spinor variety S\mathbb{S} minimally embedded in its spin representation. In particular, we determine the poset of the Spin(V)Spin(V)-orbits and their dimensions. We use it for solving the problems of identifiability and tangential-identifiability in σ2(S)\sigma_2(\mathbb S), and for determining the second Terracini locus of S\mathbb{S}. Finally, we show that the singular locus Sing(σ2(S))Sing(\sigma_{2}(\mathbb{S})) contains the two Spin(V)Spin(V)-orbits of lowest dimensions and it lies in the tangential variety τ(S)\tau(\mathbb{S}): we also conjecture what it set-theoretically is.
