In mathematics, the Segre embedding is used in projective geometry to consider the cartesian product (of sets) of two projective spaces as a projective variety. It is named after Corrado Segre.

Definition

The Segre map may be defined as the map

$\sigma :P^n\times P^m\to P^{(n+1)(m+1)-1}$

taking a pair of points $([X],[Y])\in P^n\times P^m$ to their product

$\sigma :([X_0:X_1:\cdots :X_n],[Y_0:Y_1:\cdots :Y_m])\mapsto [X_0{Y}_0:X_0{Y}_1:\cdots :X_i{Y}_j:\cdots :X_n{Y}_m]$

(the X_iY_j are taken in lexicographical order).

Here, $P^n$ and $P^m$ are projective vector spaces over some arbitrary field, and the notation

$[X_0:X_1:\cdots :X_n]$

is that of homogeneous coordinates on the space. The image of the map is a variety, called a Segre variety. It is sometimes written as ${\mathrm{\Sigma }}_{n,m}$.

Discussion

In the language of linear algebra, for given vector spaces U and V over the same field K, there is a natural way to map their cartesian product to their tensor product.

$\phi :U\times V\to U\otimes V.$

In general, this need not be injective because, for $u$ in $U$, $v$ in $V$ and any nonzero $c$ in $K$,

$\phi (u,v)=u\otimes v=cu\otimes c^{-1}v=\phi (cu,c^{-1}v).$

Considering the underlying projective spaces P(U) and P(V), this mapping becomes a morphism of varieties

$\sigma :P(U)\times P(V)\to P(U\otimes V).$

This is not only injective in the set-theoretic sense: it is a closed immersion in the sense of algebraic geometry. That is, one can give a set of equations for the image. Except for notational trouble, it is easy to say what such equations are: they express two ways of factoring products of coordinates from the tensor product, obtained in two different ways as something from U times something from V.

This mapping or morphism σ is the Segre embedding. Counting dimensions, it shows how the product of projective spaces of dimensions m and n embeds in dimension

$(m+1)(n+1)-1=mn+m+n.$

Classical terminology calls the coordinates on the product multihomogeneous, and the product generalised to k factors k-way projective space.

Properties

The Segre variety is an example of a determinantal variety; it is the zero locus of the 2×2 minors of the matrix $(Z_{i,j})$. That is, the Segre variety is the common zero locus of the quadratic polynomials

$Z_{i,j}{Z}_{k,l}-Z_{i,l}{Z}_{k,j}.$

Here, $Z_{i,j}$ is understood to be the natural coordinate on the image of the Segre map.

The fibers of the product are linear subspaces. That is, let

${\pi }_X:P^{(n+1)(m+1)-1}\to P^n$

be the projection to the first factor; and likewise ${\pi }_Y$ for the second factor. Then the image of the map

$\sigma ({\pi }_X(\cdot ),{\pi }_Y(p)):P^{(n+1)(m+1)-1}\to P^{(n+1)(m+1)-1}$

for a fixed point p is a linear subspace of the codomain.

Examples

Quadric

For example with m = n = 1 we get an embedding of the product of the projective line with itself in P³. The image is a quadric, and is easily seen to contain two one-parameter families of lines. Over the complex numbers this is a quite general non-singular quadric. Letting

$[Z_0:Z_1:Z_2:Z_3]$

be the homogeneous coordinates on P³, this quadric is given as the zero locus of the quadratic polynomial given by the determinant

$\det \left(\begin{array}{cc}{Z}_0& Z_1\\ Z_2& Z_3\end{array}\right)=Z_0{Z}_3-Z_1{Z}_2.$

Segre threefold

The map

$\sigma :P^2\times P^1\to P^5$

is known as the Segre threefold. It is an example of a rational normal scroll. The intersection of the Segre threefold and a three-plane $P^3$ is a twisted cubic curve.

Veronese variety

The image of the diagonal $\mathrm{\Delta }\subset P^n\times P^n$ under the Segre map is the Veronese variety of degree two

${\nu }_2:P^n\to P^{n^2+2n}.$

Applications

Because the Segre map is to the categorical product of projective spaces, it is a natural mapping for describing entangled states in quantum mechanics and quantum information theory. More precisely, the Segre map describes how to take products of projective Hilbert spaces.

In algebraic statistics, Segre varieties correspond to independence models.

The Segre embedding of P²×P² in P⁸ is the only Severi variety of dimension 4.
