On the identifiability of binary Segre products

Algebraic Geometry 2011-05-19 v1

Abstract

We prove that a product of m>5m>5 copies of \PP1\PP^1, embedded in the projective space \PPr\PP^r by the standard Segre embedding, is kk-identifiable (i.e. a general point of the secant variety Sk(X)S^k(X) is contained in only one (k+1)(k+1)-secant kk-space), for all kk such that k+12m1/mk+1\leq 2^{m-1}/m.
