Peterson's deformations of higher dimensional quadrics

From MaRDI portal
Publication:970312




Abstract: We provide the first explicit examples of deformations of higher dimensional quadrics: a straightforward generalization of Peterson's explicit 1-dimensional family of deformations in mathbbC3 of 2-dimensional general quadrics with common conjugate system given by the spherical coordinates on the complex sphere mathbbS2subsetmathbbC3 to an explicit (n1)-dimensional family of deformations in mathbbC2n1 of n-dimensional general quadrics with common conjugate system given by the spherical coordinates on the complex sphere mathbbSnsubsetmathbbCn+1 and non-degenerate joined second fundamental forms. It is then proven that this family is maximal.
