contents For $U\subseteq H^0(\mathcal{O}_{\mathbb{P}^1\times \mathbb{P}^1}(a,b))$ a four-dimensional vector space, a basis $\{p_0,p_1,p_2,p_3\}$ of $U$ defines a rational map $ϕ_U:\,\mathbb{P}^1\times \mathbb{P}^1 \dashrightarrow \mathbb{P}^3$. The tensor product surface associated to $U$ is the closed image $X_U$ of the map $ϕ_U$. These surfaces arise within the field of geometric modelling, in which case it is particularly desirable to obtain the implicit equation of $X_U$. In this paper, we study $X_U$ via the syzygies of the associated bigraded ideal $I_U=(p_0,p_1,p_2,p_3)$ when $U$ is free of basepoints, i.e. $ϕ_U$ is regular. Expanding upon work of Duarte and Schenck for such ideals with a linear syzygy, we address the case that $I_U$ has a quadratic syzygy.

For $U\subseteq H^0(\mathcal{O}_{\mathbb{P}^1\times \mathbb{P}^1}(a,b))$ a four-dimensional vector space, a basis $\{p_0,p_1,p_2,p_3\}$ of $U$ defines a rational map $ϕ_U:\,\mathbb{P}^1\times \mathbb{P}^1 \dashrightarrow \mathbb{P}^3$. The tensor product surface associated to $U$ is the closed image $X_U$ of the map $ϕ_U$. These surfaces arise within the field of geometric modelling, in which case it is particularly desirable to obtain the implicit equation of $X_U$. In this paper, we study $X_U$ via the syzygies of the associated bigraded ideal $I_U=(p_0,p_1,p_2,p_3)$ when $U$ is free of basepoints, i.e. $ϕ_U$ is regular. Expanding upon work of Duarte and Schenck for such ideals with a linear syzygy, we address the case that $I_U$ has a quadratic syzygy.
