Star configurations
Definition (Star configuration of points)
We say that Z ⊂ PN is a star configuration of degree d (or a
d-star for short) if Z consists of all intersection points of d ≥ N
general hyperplanes in PN . By intersection points we mean the
points which belong to exactly N of given d hyperplanes.
