Abstract

Let S\mathcal S be a Desarguesian (t1)(t-1)--spread of PG(rt1,q)PG(rt-1,q), Π\Pi a mm-dimensional subspace of PG(rt1,q)PG(rt-1,q) and Λ\Lambda the linear set consisting of the elements of S\mathcal S with non-empty intersection with Π\Pi. It is known that the Pl\"{u}cker embedding of the elements of S\mathcal S is a variety of PG(rt1,q)PG(r^t-1,q), say Vrt{\mathcal V}_{rt}. In this paper, we describe the image under the Pl\"{u}cker embedding of the elements of Λ\Lambda and we show that it is an mm-dimensional algebraic variety, projection of a Veronese variety of dimension mm and degree tt, and it is a suitable linear section of Vrt{\mathcal V}_{rt}.
