description

By means of linear algebra a base-free definition of a Veronese variety V(n,r) is given and also an illuminating description of its osculating primes from which can be deduced in a general form and without difficulty the phenomena of degeneracy in case of small characteristics. (Instance best known: For characteristic 2 all tangents of a conic are confluent.) The last section investigates special problems for the V(1,r) in characteristic p: So the osculating primes of a V(1,p) intersect its node in a V(1,p-2). Furthermore it becomes clearer why for 2<r<¦K¦−1 no elation can fix a V(1,r) (in case of a perfect field).
