Research Interests

I am interested in projective geometry of algebraic varieties: recently I am making researches on Gauss maps of projective varieties in positive characteristic as well as on secant varieties of projective varieties, especially, homogeneous projective varieties (that is, projective varieties on which some complex algebraic groups act transitively).

Keywords: projective variety, Gauss map, conormal variety, projective dual, secant variety, graded Lie algebra, triple system, ...
