Secant varieties: a crossroad of
projective geometry, algebra and topology
In this talk I will show how the study of secant varieties, which
belongs to the realm of projective geometry, gives important
information about the topology of projective varieties and interesting
algebraic problems, like interpolation, tensor rank computations,
canonical forms, etc. which have also a serious impact in
applications.
