RT Journal Article T1 Focal loci in G(1,N) A1 Arrondo Esteban, Enrique A1 Bertolini, Marina A1 Turrini, Cristina AB We introduce the different focal loci (focal points, planes and hyperplanes) of (n - 1)-dimensional families (congruences) of lines in P-n and study their invariants, geometry and the relation among them. We also study some particular congruences whose focal loci have special behaviour, namely (n - 1)-secant lines to an (n - 2)-fold and (n - 1)-tangent lines to a hypersurface. In case n = 4 we also give, under some smoothness assumptions, a classification result for these congruences.
