Resumen de On rational normal curves in projective space

Enrico Carlini, Maria Virginia Catalisano

• In this article we consider a generalization of a well-known result by Veronese about rational normal curves. More precisely, given a collection of linear spaces in Pn, we study the existence of rational normal curves intersecting each component of the configuration maximally.We introduce different methods to show the existence and non-existence of such curves. We also show how to apply these techniques to the study of defectivity of Segre�Veronese varieties.
