A rational normal curve C of order n in [n] has, at each point P, a nest of osculating spaces

as P moves on C the [n — 2] generates a primal Dn-1 of order 2n — 2.

Hilbert [3] found the multiplicities on Dn-1 not only of the vμ+1 generated by Dμ for each lesser value of μ but also those of all submanifolds common to these various Dμ.

A surface Φ in higher space has, as explained [4] by del Pezzo, a nest of tangent spaces

of respective dimensions

they raise the problem of finding the orders of manifolds generated by them and the multiplicity of each on the higher manifolds to which it belongs: the task does not seem to have been attempted, but it may well be eased if Φ is rational and normal.
