dc.descriptionWe develop in this paper some methods for studying the implicitization problem for a rational map $ϕ: \mathbb{P}^n \to (\mathbb{P}^1)^{n+1}$ defining a hypersurface in $(\mathbb{P}^1)^{n+1}$, based on computing the determinant of a graded strand of a Koszul complex. We show that the classical study of Macaulay Resultants and Koszul complexes coincides, in this case, with the approach of approximation complexes and we study and give a geometric interpretation for the acyclicity conditions. Under suitable hypotheses, these techniques enable us to obtain the implicit equation, up to a power, and up to some other extra factor. We give algebraic and geometric conditions for determining when the computed equation defines the scheme theoretic image of $ϕ$, and, what are the extra varieties that appear. We also give some applications to the problem of computing sparse discriminants.
