Some remarks on osculating self-dual varieties

Algebraic Geometry 2016-02-25 v1

Abstract

Let us say that a curve CP3C\subset\mathbb P^3 is osculating self-dual if it is projectively equivalent to the curve in the dual space (P3)(\mathbb P^3)^* whose points are osculating planes to~CC. Similarly, we say that a kk-dimensional subvariety XP2k+1X\subset\mathbb P^{2k+1} is osculating self-dual if its second osculating space at the general point is a hyperplane and XX is projectively equivalent to the variety in (P2k+1)(\mathbb P^{2k+1})^* whose points are second osculating spaces to XX. In this note we show that for each k1k\ge 1 there exist many osculating self-dual kk-dimensional subvarieties in P2k+1\mathbb P^{2k+1}.
