No label defined (Q4941439)

The impressive volume edited by A. V. Geramita -- first of all, an exquisite graphical realization -- gathers most of the studies of the well-known mathematician Dionisio Gallarati. A comprehensive review of such a variety of problems is quite difficult to accomplish. That is why, a presentation will be attempted at, by means of the ``brief guide'' opening the volume, elaborated by Gallarati himself. The main aspects on which this survey is structured refer to: -- constructing surfaces with many singular points; -- research on the Grassmann varieties; -- characterization of algebraic varieties by means of differential properties; -- multiple intersections on an algebraic variety; -- Fano varieties -- irrepularities of a double space; -- projective character of surfaces; -- isolated topics. All in all, reading of the volume would be surely a most attractive study for all those interested in the field.
