Dual varieties of subvarieties of homogeneous spaces

Algebraic Geometry 2007-05-23 v1

Abstract

A subvariety of a complex projective space has a well-known dual variety, which is the set of its tangent hyperplanes. The purpose of this paper is to generalise this notion for a subvariety of a quite general partial flag variety. A similar biduality theorem is proved, and the dual varieties of Schubert varieties are described.
