Extract

The planes of a given S5 can be represented by the points of a locus V9 in space of nineteen dimensions. This locus is a double locus on a certain other manifold V14, and the tangent spaces of the V9 generate a W18. Segre has a memoir on the subject of these loci, in which he arrives at his results by a series of short steps, the argument being mainly geometrical.
