Singularities of secant varieties
Abstract: In this talk, I will talk about singularities of secant varieties
associated to smooth varieties embedded by sufficiently positive adjoint
line bundles. More specifically, I will show that they are always Du Bois and
talk about the condition of being rational singular.
If I have enough time, I will also talk about possible developments of the techniques
used in this talk.
