This comprehensive overview of determinantal ideals includes an analysis of the latest results. Following the carefully structured presentation, you’ll develop new insights into addressing and solving open problems in liaison theory and Hilbert schemes. Three principal problems are addressed in the book: CI-liaison class and G-liaison class of standard determinantal ideals; the multiplicity conjecture for standard determinantal ideals; and unobstructedness and dimension of families of standard determinantal ideals. The author, Rosa M. Miro-Roig, is the winner of the 2007 Ferran Sunyer i Balaguer Prize.
