Veronese varieties over fields with non-zero characteristic: A survey (Q1394819)

A subspace in the ambient space of a Veronese variety is said to be invariant if it is fixed under the group of automorphic collineations of the variety. Among the invariant subspaces are the nuclei of Veronesean; they arise as intersection of all osculating subspaces of a fixed type. In the excellently written paper the author gives a survey on recent results about nuclei of Veronese varieties and invariant subspaces of normal rational curves. If the characteristic of the ground field is zero, then there are only the trivial invariant subspaces. If the characteristic is a prime \(p\), then there are in general many such subspaces, and there is a close relationship to the array of multinomial coefficients modulo \(p\). The paper is completed by precisely cited references.
