Abstract

Rational normal scrolls are ubiquitous objects in algebraic geometry. They constitute almost all of ``minimal degree varieties" in $\mathbb{P}^n$ and also have among the simplest minimal free resolutions. We'll discuss analogs of rational normal scrolls in weighted projective space and use them to explore the relationship between degree and syzygies for weighted projective varieties.
