Synopsis

The sharing of a common self-polar simplex by n−1 quadrics in [n] confers special features on their curve of intersection Γn. The three-dimensional locus Mn of chords of Γn. has certain singularities, some of which are described. In conclusion, a few comments refer to the case n = 4 when Mn is defined by a single equation.
