Abstract: The goal of this paper is to solve the conjecture stated in a paper of Mezzetti, Mir'o-Roig, Ottaviani and classify all smooth minimal monomial Togliatti systems of cubics. More precisely, we classify all minimal monomial artinian ideals generated by cubics, failing the weak Lefschetz property and whose apolar cubic system defines a smooth toric variety or, equivalently, we classify all minimal monomial artinian ideals generated by cubics whose apolar cubic system defines a smooth toric variety satisfying at least a Laplace equation of order 2.


The subject of the paper is the study, in the case of cubics, of the interplay between artinian idials \(I\subset R := k[x_0,n,\dots,x_n]\) not possessing the WLP (weak Lefschetz Property) and projections of Veronese varieties satisfying some Laplace equation. An artinian homogeneous ideal \(I = (F_1,\dots,F_r)\subset R\) is said to have the WLP, if it exists a linear form \(L\in R_1\), such that the map: \(\times L: (R/I)_j \rightarrow (R/I)_{j+1}\) is of maximal rank for all \(j\)'s. An \(n\)-dimensional variety \(X\subset {\mathbb P}^N\) is said to satisfy \(\delta\) Laplace equations if at its generic point \(x\) its \(s\)-obsulating space \(T_x^{(s)}(X)\) has dimension \({n+s\choose n} -1-\delta\) (i.e. \(\delta\) less than expected), for some \(s\). Clearly only the case \(N\geq {n+s\choose n} -1\) is of interest. Let \(V(n,d)\) be the \(d\)-ple Veronese embedding of \({\mathbb P}^n\) into \({\mathbb P}^N\), \(N={n+d \choose n}-1\), and let \(X\) be its projection into \({\mathbb P}^{N-r}\) with center of projection \(\langle F_1,\dots ,F_r\rangle\), where \(F_i\in R_d\). When \(I=(F_1,\dots,F_r)\) is an artinian ring, it is known that \(I\) does not satisfy the WLP if and only if \(X\) satisfies some Laplace equation. In this case \(F_1,\dots,F_r\) is said to be a Togliatti system. In this paper the case \(d=3\) is studied (Togliatti cubics), and when \(I\) is a monomial ideal and \(X\) is smooth,the authors are able to describe all the possible minimal Togliatti systems (i.e. Togliatti systems which do not contain a smaller one).
