Abstract: We study syzygies of the Segre embedding of P(V1)×⋯×P(Vn), and prove two finiteness results. First, for fixed p but varying n and Vi, there is a finite list of master p-syzygies from which all other p-syzygies can be derived by simple substitutions. Second, we define a power series fp with coefficients in something like the Schur algebra, which contains essentially all the information of p-syzygies of Segre embeddings (for all n and Vi), and show that it is a rational function. The list of master p-syzygies and the numerator and denominator of fp can be computed algorithmically (in theory). The central observation of this paper is that by considering all Segre embeddings at once (i.e., letting n and the Vi vary) certain structure on the space of p-syzygies emerges. We formalize this structure in the concept of a Δ-module. Many of our results on syzygies are specializations of general results on Δ-modules that we establish. Our theory also applies to certain other families of varieties, such as tangent and secant varieties of Segre embeddings.
TL;DR: In this paper, the root space decomposition of a Riemannian symmetric space of compact type and its totally geodesic submanifolds (symmetric subspaces) are described.
Abstract: In this article, relations between the root space decomposition of a Riemannian symmetric space of compact type and the root space decompositions of its totally geodesic submanifolds (symmetric subspaces) are described. These relations provide an approach to the classification of totally geodesic submanifolds in Riemannian symmetric spaces; this is exemplified by the classification of the totally geodesic submanifolds in the complex quadric Q m : = SO ( m + 2 ) / ( SO ( 2 ) × SO ( m ) ) obtained in the second part of the article. The classification shows that the earlier classification of totally geodesic submanifolds of Q m by Chen and Nagano (see [B.-Y. Chen, T. Nagano, Totally geodesic submanifolds of symmetric spaces, I, Duke Math. J. 44 (1977) 745–755]) is incomplete. More specifically, two types of totally geodesic submanifolds of Q m are missing from [B.-Y. Chen, T. Nagano, Totally geodesic submanifolds of symmetric spaces, I, Duke Math. J. 44 (1977) 745–755]: The first type is constituted by manifolds isometric to C P 1 × R P 1 ; their existence follows from the fact that Q 2 is (via the Segre embedding) holomorphically isometric to C P 1 × C P 1 . The second type consists of 2-spheres of radius 1 2 10 which are neither complex nor totally real in Q m .

TL;DR: In this paper, it was shown that X ⊂ P n is a reduced and irreducible projective variety, and the equations describing the higher secant varieties of X can be found in the following cases: • X = P n 1 × ⋯ × P n t × p n n, where n is large with respect to the n i (Theorem 2.4).

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