Title

Veronese secants, Gorenstein rings and stability

Abstract

A hyperplane in the vector space k[x_0,…,x_n]_d of homogeneous polynomials of degree d defines the socle of a Gorenstein graded ring. A canonical Bridgeland stability condition allows us to filter these rings (or more precisely their graded resolutions) as objects of the derived category of coherent sheaves and we use this to find some new invariants. In particular, this stratifies the space of polynomials by generalized secant varieties to the Veronese. This is joint work with Brooke Ullery.
