Abstract:
We present partial elimination ideals, which set-theoretically cut out the multiple point loci of a generic projection of a projective variety, as a way to bound the regularity of a variety in projective space. To do this, we utilize a combination of initial ideal methods and geometric methods. We first define partial elimination ideals and establish through initial ideal methods the way in which, for a given ideal, the regularity of the partial elimination ideals bounds the regularity of the given ideal. Then we explore the partial elimination ideals as a way to compute the canonical bundle of the generic projection of a variety and the canonical bundles of the multiple point loci of the projection, and we use Kodaira Vanishing to bound the regularity of the partial elimination ideals.
