Abstract

The paper is devoted to a detailed study of sextics in three variables having a decomposition as a sum of nine powers of linear forms. This is indeed the unique case of a Veronese image X of the plane which, in the terminology introduced by Ciliberto and the first author, is {\it weakly defective}, and non-identifiable: a general sextic of the 9-secant variety of X has two minimal decompositions.
