We study congruences of lines Xω defined by a sufficiently general choice of an alternating 3-form ω in n+1 dimensions, as Fano manifolds of index 3 and dimension n−1. These congruences include the G2-variety for n=6 and the variety of reductions of projected ℙ2×ℙ2 for n=7. We compute the degree of Xω as the n-th Fine number and study the Hilbert scheme of these congruences proving that the choice of ω bijectively corresponds to Xω except when n=5. The fundamental locus of the congruence is also studied together with its singular locus: these varieties include the Coble cubic for n=8 and the Peskine variety for n=9. The residual congruence Y of Xω with respect to a general linear congruence containing Xω is analysed in terms of the quadrics containing the linear span of Xω. We prove that Y is Cohen-Macaulay but non-Gorenstein in codimension 4. We also examine the fundamental locus G of Y of which we determine the singularities and the irreducible components.

Abstract: | We study congruences of lines Xω defined by a sufficiently general choice of an alternating 3-form ω in n+1 dimensions, as Fano manifolds of index 3 and dimension n−1. These congruences include the G2-variety for n=6 and the variety of reductions of projected ℙ2×ℙ2 for n=7. We compute the degree of Xω as the n-th Fine number and study the Hilbert scheme of these congruences proving that the choice of ω bijectively corresponds to Xω except when n=5. The fundamental locus of the congruence is also studied together with its singular locus: these varieties include the Coble cubic for n=8 and the Peskine variety for n=9. The residual congruence Y of Xω with respect to a general linear congruence containing Xω is analysed in terms of the quadrics containing the linear span of Xω. We prove that Y is Cohen-Macaulay but non-Gorenstein in codimension 4. We also examine the fundamental locus G of Y of which we determine the singularities and the irreducible components. |
