Feigin-Odesskii brackets, syzygies, and Cremona transformations (Q2149483)

The aim of this paper is to identify Feigin-Odesskii brackets \(q_{n,1}(C)\), associated with a normal elliptic curve of degree \(n\), \(C\subset\mathbb{P}^{n-1}\), with a certain skew-symmetric \(n\times n\) matrix of quadratic forms related to the secant varieties of \(C\), introduced and studied by \textit{T. Fisher} [Algebra Number Theory 12, No. 9, 2123--2150 (2018; Zbl 1446.11107)]. Also the author shows that for odd \(n\), the generators of the ideal of the secant variety of \(C\) of codimension \(3\) give a Cremona transformation of \(\mathbb{P}^{n-1}\), generalizing the quadro-cubic Cremona transformation of \(\mathbb{P}^4\). This transformation is identified with the one considered in [\textit{A. Polishchuk}, Int. Math. Res. Not. 1998, No. 13, 682--703 (1998; Zbl 0933.14016)] and the author finds explicit formulas for the inverse transformation and polynomial formulas for Cremona transformations from [loc. cit.] associated with higher rank bundles on \(C\). This paper is organized as follows. The first Section is an introduction to the subject and statement of the results. Section 2 deals with some preliminaries about quadratic Poisson brackets, formula for Feigin-Odesskii bracket, secant varieties, syzygies and skew-symmetric matrices of linear forms. Section 3 is devoted to the proofs of the results.
