Abstract: The nucleus of a Veronese variety is the intersection of all its osculating hyperplanes. Various authors have given necessary and sufficient conditions for the nucleus to be empty. We present an explicit formula for the dimension of this nucleus for arbitrary characteristic of the ground field. As a corollary, we obtain a dimension formula for that subspace in the $t$-th symmetric power of a finite-dimensional vector space $V$ which is spanned by the powers $a^t$ with $ainV$.

Review text

Unlike in the case of characteristic zero, the intersection of osculating hyperplanes of a Veronese variety may be non-empty when the characteristic of the underlying field is \(p\). In this paper, a formula for the dimension of this intersection is given.
