Abstract: The authors establish a relation of the theory of varieties with degenerate Gauss maps in projective spaces with the theory of congruences and pseudocongruences of subspaces and show how these two theories can be applied to the construction of induced connections on submanifolds of projective spaces and other spaces endowed with a projective structure.

Review text

Varieties with degenerate Gauss maps are multidimensional analogues of developable surfaces in three-dimensional Euclidean space. In this paper, a relation is established between the theory of such varieties in projective space and the theory of congruences of subspaces of a projective space. These two theories are applied to the construction of induced connections on submanifolds of a projective space. Structure equations and curvature tensors are studied. The projective space in addition may carry an affine or Euclidean structure. Further topics are focal points of a variety with degenerate Gauss map and of a congruence of subspaces. As another example we mention the following result: The induced affine connection and the normal connection of a centrally normalized variety are flat.
