• Resumen

  • We first show that a generic hypersurface V of degree d ≥ 3 in the projective complex space P n of dimension n ≥ 3 has at least one hyperplane section V ∩H containing exactly n ordinary double points, alias A1 singularities, in general position, and no other singularities. Equivalently, the dual hypersurface V ∨ has at least one normal crossing singularity of multiplicity n. Using this result, we show that the dual of any smooth hypersurface with n, d ≥ 3 has at least a very singular point q, in particular a point q of multiplicity ≥ n.
