In this paper, using the method of moving frames, we generalise some of Terracini's results on varieties with tangent defect.

Abstract
In this paper, using the method of moving frames, we generalise some of Terracini's results on varieties with tangent defect. In particular, we characterise varieties with higher order osculating defect in terms of Jacobians of higher fundamental forms and moreover we characterise varieties with "small" higher fundamental forms as contained in scrolls.File in questo prodotto:
