On vanishing of fundamental forms of algebraic varieties

Algebraic Geometry 2023-04-18 v1

Abstract

We study fundamental forms of algebraic varieties using the sheaves of principal parts of line bundles and establish a vanishing theorem for any order fundamental forms. We also give connection of fundamental forms with the higher order Gauss map and higher order tangent varieties.
