Abstract.
We review the classical definition of the dual homogeneous form of arbitrary even degree which generalizes the well-known notion of the dual quadratic form. Following the ideas of S. Mukai we apply this construction to the study of the varieties parametrizing representations of a homogeneous polynomial as a sum of powers of linear forms.
