Fubini's Theorem in codimension two

Abstract

We classify codimension two analytic submanifolds X of projective space having the property that any line through a general point p having contact to order two with X at p automatically has contact to order three. We give applications to the study of the Debarre--de Jong conjecture, and of n-dimensional varieties whose Fano variety of lines has dimension 2n-4.
