Gaussian scrolls, Gaussian flags and duality

Abstract

A projective variety whose Gauss map has positive dimensional fibres corresponds to a special kind of scroll called \emph{Gaussian}. A Gaussian scroll is a member of a canonical derived \emph{ Gaussian flag}. We introduce a duality in the class of Gaussian scrolls and flags and study its consequences. In particular, a Gaussian scroll is dual to the derived or tangent developable scroll of a Gaussian scroll in the dual projective space, and is the 'leading edge' or antiderived scroll of its derived stationary scroll.
