On maximal rank planar webs and Chern's problem

Research output: Contribution to journalArticlepeer-review

Abstract

We explain how it is possible to obtain the necessary conditions onfunctions defining a germ of planar web in order that it be of maximal rank. Then we apply this method to the study of maximalrank 5-webs.We show the existence of many exceptional 5-webs non-equivalent to Bol's web, thus giving an answer to Chern's problem.
