Seminar Algebra and Geometry: Marc Chardin (Institut Mathématique de Jussieu, Paris)
In this lecture, I will present a way of computing the image of a rational map using a free resolution of the symmetric algebra. In this setting, the method was initiated by Jean-Pierre Jouanolou, and further developed by him, by Laurent Busé and by myself. The origin of this method is the work of people in Geometric Modeling, motivated by a simple question: how to represent the intersection of two surfaces parametrized by rational functions?
Their approach was first put on firm mathematical bases by David Cox and several collaborators. The key point in this approach is to control the torsion in the symmetric algebra. This is performed using a construction of Herzog, Simis and Vasconcelos, that gives information on the equations of Rees algebras.
