Abstract

Abstract We present a way of computing the degree of the secant (resp. tangent) variety of a smooth projective surface, under the assumption that the divisor giving the embedding in the projective space is 3-very ample. This method exploits the link between these varieties and the Hilbert scheme 0-dimensional subschemes of length 2 of the surface.
