Birational geometry of defective varieties. II.

Abstract: Let

X s u b s e t m a t h b b P^{r}

be smooth and irreducible and for

k g e 0

let

u_{k} (X)

(resp.,

d e l t a_{k} (X)

) be the

k

-th contact (resp., the

k

-th secant) defect of

X

. For all

k g e 0

we have the inequality

u_{k} (X) g e d e l t a_{k} (X)

and in the case

k = 1

we characterize projective varieties

X

for which equality holds,

d i m m a t h r m S i n g (X) l e d e l t a_{1} (X) - 1

and the generic tangential contact locus is reducible.
