Abstract: We identify Feigin-Odesskii brackets qn,1(C), associated with a normal elliptic curve of degree n, CsubsetmathbbPn−1, with the skew-symmetric nimesn matrix of quadratic forms introduced by Fisher in arXiv:1510.04327 in connection with some minimal free resolutions related to the secant varieties of C. On the other hand, we show that for odd n, the generators of the ideal of the secant variety of C of codimension 3 give a Cremona transformation of mathbbPn−1, generalizing the quadro-cubic Cremona transformation of mathbbP4. We identify this transformation with the one considered in arXiv:alg-geom/9712022 and find explict formulas for the inverse transformation. We also find polynomial formulas for Cremona transformations from arXiv:alg-geom/9712022 associated with higher rank bundles on C.


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.
