What is the codimension of the set of non-node singularites?












0












$begingroup$


Let $F$ be a given homogeneous polynomial in $mathbb C[x_0,ldots,x_n]$. It defines some hypersurface $X=Z(F)$ in $mathbb {P}^n$. Let
$$U:={xin X:text{$x$ is a non-node singular point in $X$}}.$$



My question is:




What is the codimension of $U$ in $X$?




In general, Let $Ssubset X$ be the closed subset of singular points, so $S$ has codimension at least $1$. I think $Usubset S$ should also be a closed subset, and for $n$ large it should be proper, so $Usubset X$ should has codimension at least $2$. It would be good if we can tell for some given $X=Z(F)$ whether the bound is obtained. Is there some known criterion like this?



Thanks in advance.

    @Mohan Maybe I should use the term “ordinary double point”, i.e. the tangent cone is non-degenerate.
