In this paper we classify all Veronesean caps of projective spaces of finite dimension over skew-fields. More precisely, we prove that if the projective space PG(M,K), K a skew-field, contains a Veronesean cap X, then K is a field and X is either a Veronese variety or a projection of a Veronese variety. This result extends analogous theorems of Mazzocca and Melone and Thas and Van Maldeghem for finite projective spaces.

Abstract

In this paper we classify all Veronesean caps of projective spaces of finite dimension over skew-fields. More precisely, we prove that if the projective space PG(M,K), K a skew-field, contains a Veronesean cap X, then K is a field and X is either a Veronese variety or a projection of a Veronese variety. This result extends analogous theorems of Mazzocca and Melone and Thas and Van Maldeghem for finite projective spaces.
