| contents | In this paper we will study the Hessian hypersurface associated with a smooth cubic. We prove that the existence of a Hessian locus, associated with a smooth cubic form f, of dimension bigger then the expected one, forces the cubic f to be of Thom-Sebastiani type. Moreover, we will analyze the existence of some projective linear spaces in such Hessian loci and their nature in terms of the Hessian matrix. From this, we show that the only smooth cubic threefold having the same Hessian variety as the one associated with a general cubic form f of Waring Rank 6 is f itself. Finally, we prove that the hessian associated with a smooth hypersurface of any degree and dimension is not a cone. |
