Projective Varieties with Unexpected Properties: A Volume in Memory of Giuseppe Veronese. Proceedings of the international conference ‘Varieties with Unexpected Properties’, Siena, Italy, June 8—13, 2004
About this ebook
The topic of secant varieties and the classification of defective varieties is central and ubiquitous in this volume. Besides the intrinsic interest of the subject, it turns out that it is also relevant in other fields of mathematics like expressions of polynomials as sums of powers, polynomial interpolation, rank tensor computations, Bayesian networks, algebraic statistics and number theory.
