Varieties of minimal rational tangents on double covers of projective space (Q379235): Difference between revisions

One powerful tool in studying Fano manifolds is the varieties of minimal rational tangents (VMRT). This project is largely carried out by Hwang and Mok in a series of papers. The paper under review studies the beautiful geometry of the double coves of projective spaces and its associated VMRT via a very explicit computation and description of the VMRT, which allows the authors to prove several consequences, like rigidity results, Liouville-type extension results, etc.
