Some defective secant varieties to osculating varieties of Veronese surfaces.

Alessandra Bernardi, Maria Virginia Catalisano (2006)

Collectanea Mathematica

We consider the k-osculating varietiesOk,d to the Veronese d?uple embeddings of P2. By studying the Hilbert function of certain zero-dimensional schemes Y ⊂ P2, we find the dimension of Osk,d, the (s?1)th secant varieties of Ok,d, for 3 ≤ s ≤ 6 and s = 9, and we determine whether those secant varieties are defective or not.

Some geometric aspects of Puiseux surfaces.

José M. Tornero (2003)

Revista Matemática Iberoamericana

This paper is part of the author's thesis, recently presented, where the following problem is treated: Characterizing the tangent cone and the equimultiple locus of a Puiseux surface (that is, an algebroid embedded surface admitting an equation whose roots are Puiseux power series) , using a set of exponents appearing in a root of an equation. The aim is knowing to which extent the well known results for the quasi-ordinary case can be extended to this much wider family.
