A Terracini Lemma for osculating spaces with applications to Veronese surfaces
نویسندگان
چکیده
Here we present a partial generalization to higher order osculating spaces of the classical Lemma of Terracini on ordinary tangent spaces. As an application, we investigate the secant varieties to the osculating varieties to the Veronese embeddings of the projective plane. AMS Subject Classification: 14N05.

Osculating spaces to secant varieties
We generalize the classical Terracini’s Lemma to higher order osculating spaces to secant varieties. As an application, we address with the so-called Horace method the case of the d-Veronese embedding of the projective 3-space. A.M.S. Math. Subject Classification (2000): 14N05.
متن کاملOsculating Spaces of Varieties and Linear Network Codes
We present a general theory to obtain good linear network codes utilizing the osculating nature of algebraic varieties. In particular, we obtain from the osculating spaces of Veronese varieties explicit families of equidimensional vector spaces, in which any pair of distinct vector spaces intersect in the same dimension. Linear network coding transmits information in terms of a basis of a vecto...
متن کاملApplications of line geometry, III: The quadric Veronesean and the chords of a twisted cubic
The chords of a twisted cubic in PG(3, q) are mapped via their Plucker coordinates to the points of a Veronese surface lying on the Klein quadric in PG(5, q). This correspondence over a finite field gives a cap in PG(5, q), that is, a set of points no three of which are collinear. The dual structure, namely the axes of the osculating developable, is also mapped to a Veronese surface. The two su...
متن کاملA Dimension Formula for the Nucleus of a Veronese Variety∗
The nucleus of a Veronese variety is the intersection of all its osculating hyperplanes. Various authors have given necessary and sufficient conditions for the nucleus to be empty. We present an explicit formula for the dimension of this nucleus for arbitrary characteristic of the ground field. As a corollary, we obtain a dimension formula for that subspace in the t–th symmetric power of a fini...
متن کاملOn a Lemma of Bompiani
We reprove in modern terms and extend to arbitrary dimension a classical result of Enrico Bompiani on algebraic surfaces X ⊂ P having very degenerate osculating spaces. Let X ⊂ P be an integral nondegenerate projective variety of dimension n defined over the field C. In order to introduce the osculating space of order m to a smooth point p ∈ X, fix a lifting U ⊆ C −→ C \ {0} t 7−→ p(t) of a loc...
