Abstract:
Given a non degenerate irreducible projective variety $X$, its $2$-secant variety is defined as the Zariski closure of the union of the spans of any two points of the variety $X$. \\Given an $n$-dimensional smooth lattice polytope $P \subset \mathbb{R}^n $ not $AGL _n(\mathbb{Z})$-equivalent to $\Delta_n$, $2\Delta_n$,
$(2\Delta_n)_k $ for $ 0\leq k \leq n-2$ or to $ \Delta_l \times \Delta_{n-l}$ for $ 1\leq l \leq n-1$, then the generic point of its $2 $-secant variety is identifiable, i.e. it lies on an unique secant line of $X_P $. This concludes the study of the dimension of the $2 $-secant variety of a variety associated to a smooth $n$-dimensional lattice polytope.
The seminar corresponds to the final exam of Algebraic Geometry II, a planned course within Santarsiero's first year PHD study programme
