Abstract

Let Xm,nX_{m,n} be the Segre-Veronese variety Pm×Pn\mathbb{P}^m \times \mathbb{P}^n embedded by the morphism given by O(1,2)\mathcal{O}(1,2). In this paper, we provide two functions s(m,n)sˉ(m,n)\underline{s}(m,n)\le \bar{s}(m,n) such that the sths^{\mathrm{th}} secant variety of Xm,nX_{m,n} has the expected dimension if ss(m,n)s \leq \underline{s}(m,n) or sˉ(m,n)s \bar{s}(m,n) \leq s. We also present a conjecturally complete list of defective secant varieties of such Segre-Veronese varieties.
