Infinite Veronesean Caps

at 12 noon in MLR 2 on Tuesday 13 April.

Abstract: Veronesean varieties are fundamental objects in geometry, be
it classical algebraic geometry or modern finite geometry. In the finite
case both quadric Veroneseans and Hermitian Veroneseans, which are
defined algebraically, were characterized geometrically as Veronesean
caps. Replacing counting arguments by a more synthetic approach we were
able to extend these results to arbitrary division rings. Moreover, we
consider a much larger class of Veronesean caps, and their relation with
Jordan algebras. (joint work with H. van Maldeghem).
