We completely classify the dimension of secant varieties $Sec_1(\mathbb{X}_{{\lambda},2})$ to the variety of reducible forms in $\mathbf{k}[x_0,x_1,x_2]$ when ${\lambda}=(1,{\cdots},1,3,{\cdots},3$), and also show that they are all non-defective.

It has been proved that if $\mathbb{X}^{(s,s)}$ is the union of two linear star-configurations in $\mathbb{P}^2$ of type $s{\times}s$, then $(I_{\mathbb{X}^{(s,s)}})_s{\neq}\{0\}$ for s = 3, 4, 5, and $(I_{\mathbb{X}^{(s,s)}})_s=\{0\}$ for $s{\geq}6$. We extend $\mathbb{P}^2$ to $\mathbb{P}^n$ and show that if $\mathbb{X}^{(s,s)}$ is the union of two linear star-configurations in $\mathbb{P}^n$, then $(I_{\mathbb{X}^{(s,s)}})_s=\{0\}$ for $n{\geq}3$ and $s{\geq}3$. Using this generalization, we also prove that the secant variety $Sec_1(Split_s(\mathbb{P}^n))$ has the expected dimension 2ns + 1 for $n{\geq}3$ and $s{\geq}3$.

Let X ⊂ ℙ^r be an integral and non-degenerate variety. Set n := dim(X). Let 𝜌(X)" be the maximal integer such that every zero-dimensional scheme Z ⊂ X smoothable in X is linearly independent. We prove that X is linearly normal if 𝜌(X)" ≥ 2⌈(r + 2)/2⌉ and that 𝜌(X)" < 2⌈(r + 1)/(n + 1)⌉, unless either n = r or X is a rational normal curve.
