Abstract: In this paper, using the method of moving frames, we generalise some of Terracini's results on varieties with tangent defect. In particular, we characterise varieties with higher order osculating defect in terms of Jacobians of higher fundamental forms and moreover we characterise varieties with "small" higher fundamental forms as contained in scrolls.

Review text

The authors study \(k\)-dimensional varieties \(V\) of \(\mathbb P^N(\mathbb C)\) with defect in the embedded tangent variety. Based on results by Terracini they are able to characterize varieties with higher-order defect. The considerations are based on the method of moving frames and the study of the behaviour of higher-order fundamental forms. As a result, the authors show that varieties with small higher-order fundamental forms are contained in scrolls.
