  We study the syzygies of secant ideals of Veronese subrings of a fixed
commutative graded algebra over a field of characteristic 0. One corollary is
that the degrees of the minimal generators of the ith syzygy module of the
coordinate ring of the rth secant variety of any Veronese embedding of a
projective scheme X can be bounded by a constant that only depends on i, r, and
X, and not on the choice of the Veronese embedding.
