DESCRIPTION:Alessio Caminata (Université de Neuchâtel)\nPascal’s Theor
 em gives a synthetic geometric condition for six points A\,...\,F in the p
 rojective plane to lie on a conic. Namely\, that the intersection points o
 f the lines AB and DE\, AF and CD\, EF and BC are aligned. One could ask a
 n analogous question in higher dimension: is there a linear coordinate-fre
 e condition for d + 4 points in the d-dimensional projective space to lie 
 on a degree d rational normal curve? In this talk we will discuss and give
  an answer to this problem by writing in the Grassmann-Cayley algebra the 
 defining equations of the parameter space of d+4 ordered points that lie o
 n a rational normal curve of degree d.
