Title
Herzog classes of grade three licci ideals
Abstract
By work of Buchweitz and Herzog, there is a well-defined classification of licci ideals up to deformation. The equivalence classes obtained in this manner are called Herzog classes. For grade 2 perfect ideals (all of which are licci) the Herzog class of I is determined by its minimal number of generators, i.e. the vector space dimension of I/mI. Furthermore, the class of a linked ideal K:I can be inferred from the dimension of the subspace (K+mI)/mI. Assuming equicharacteristic zero, we generalize this to grade 3 licci ideals, where we can describe all Herzog classes with the assistance of representation theory. In this setting, the class of K:I depends on the incidence of (K+mI)/mI with a distinguished partial flag on I/mI. This is based on ongoing joint work with Lorenzo Guerrieri and Jerzy Weyman.
