Abstract:
Let be a reductive group and a parabolic subgroup. For every -regular dominant weight let denote the variety embedded in the projective space by the embedding corresponding to the ample line bundle . Writing , we prove that the degree of the dual variety to is a polynomial with nonnegative coefficients in . In the case of homogeneous spaces we find an expression for the constant term of this polynomial.
