A recursive formula for osculating curves

From MaRDI portal
Publication:2032829




Abstract: Let X be a smooth complex projective variety. Using a construction devised to Gathmann, we present a recursive formula for some of the Gromov-Witten invariants of X. We prove that, when X is homogeneous, this formula gives the number of osculating rational curves at a general point of a general hypersurface of X. This generalizes the classical well known pairs of inflexion (asymptotic) lines for surfaces in mathbbP3 of Salmon, as well as Darboux's 27 osculating conics.
