Brodmann, M; Park, E; Schenzel, P (2011). On varieties of almost minimal degree II: A rank-depth formula. Proceedings of the American Mathematical Society, 139(6):2025-2032.

## Abstract

Let $X \subset \mathbb{P}^r_K$ denote a variety of almost minimal degree other than a normal del Pezzo variety. Then $X$ is the projection of a rational normal scroll $\tilde X \subset {\mathbb{P}}^{r+1}_K$ from a point $p \in {\mathbb{P}}^{r+1}_K \setminus \tilde X.$ We show that the arithmetic depth of $X$ can be expressed in terms of the rank of the matrix $M'(p),$ where $M'$ is the matrix of linear forms whose $3\times 3$ minors define the secant variety of $\tilde X.$

## TrendTerms

TrendTerms displays relevant terms of the abstract of this publication and related documents on a map. The terms and their relations were extracted from ZORA using word statistics. Their timelines are taken from ZORA as well. The bubble size of a term is proportional to the number of documents where the term occurs. Red, orange, yellow and green colors are used for terms that occur in the current document; red indicates high interlinkedness of a term with other terms, orange, yellow and green decreasing interlinkedness. Blue is used for terms that have a relation with the terms in this document, but occur in other documents.
You can navigate and zoom the map. Mouse-hovering a term displays its timeline, clicking it yields the associated documents.
