Maximality of quartic symmetroids with a double quadric of codimension 1

Algebraic Geometry 2019-05-06 v1

Abstract

We prove that the dimension of a quartic symmetroid singular along a quadric of codimension 1 is at most 4, if it is not a cone. In the maximal case, the quadric is reducible and consists of rank-3-points. If the quadric is irreducible, it consists of rank-2-points and the symmetroid is at most 3-dimensional.
