Togliatti systems (Q2504122)

A projective variety \(X \subset {\mathbb P}^N\) satisfies an order \(d \geq 2\) Laplace equation if its order \(d\) osculating space at its general point has not the expected dimension. Here the author finds more examples of surfaces in \({\mathbb P}^5\) satisfying a Lapace equation. Among them, rational surfaces with genus \(1\) curves as hypersurfaces. Then she studies monomial Togliatti systems of cubics for \(3\)-folds. She conjectures a wide generalization of the \(3\)-fold part.
