That is, $E_i\\subset H^0(X, \\mathcal{L}_i)$ is a finite dimensional subspace of the space of regular sections of line bundles $ \\mathcal{L}_i$. Such a collection is called overdetermined if the generic system \\[ s_1 = \\ldots = s_k = 0, \\] with $s_i\\in E_i$ does not have any roots on $X$. In this paper we study solvable systems which are given by an overdetermined collection of linear series. Generalizing the notion of a resultant hypersurface we define a consistency variety $R\\subset \\prod_{i=1}^k E_i$ as the closure of the set of all systems which have at least one common root and study general properties of zero sets $Z_{\\bf s}$ of a generic consistent system ${\\bf s}\\in R$. Then, in the case of equivariant linear series on spherical homogeneous spaces we provide a strategy for computing discrete invariants of such generic non-empty set $Z_{\\bf s}$. For equivariant linear series on the torus $(\\mathbb{C}^*)^n$ this strategy provides explicit calculations and generalizes the theory of Newton polyhedra.", "revisions": [ { "version": "v1", "updated": "2019-02-13T20:42:33.000Z" } ], "analyses": { "keywords": [ "algebraic variety", "overdetermined systems", "equivariant linear series", "collection", "finite dimensional subspace" ], "note": { "typesetting": "TeX", "pages": 16, "language": "en", "license": "arXiv", "status": "editable" } } }
