On hypersurfaces containing projective varieties

On hypersurfaces containing projective varieties Abstract Classical Castelnuovo's lemma shows that the number of linearly independent quadratic equations of a nondegenerate irreducible projective variety of codimension c is at most c + 1 2 ${{\binom{c+1}{2}}}$ and the equality is attained if and only if the variety is of minimal degree. Also a generalization of Castelnuovo's lemma by G. Fano implies that the next case occurs if and only if the variety is a del Pezzo variety. For curve case, these results are extended to equations of arbitrary degree respectively by J. Harris and S. L'vovsky. This paper is intended to extend these results to arbitrary dimensional varieties and to the next cases. http://www.deepdyve.com/assets/images/DeepDyve-Logo-lg.png Forum Mathematicum de Gruyter

Abstract

Abstract Classical Castelnuovo's lemma shows that the number of linearly independent quadratic equations of a nondegenerate irreducible projective variety of codimension c is at most c + 1 2 ${{\binom{c+1}{2}}}$ and the equality is attained if and only if the variety is of minimal degree. Also a generalization of Castelnuovo's lemma by G. Fano implies that the next case occurs if and only if the variety is a del Pezzo variety. For curve case, these results are extended to equations of arbitrary degree respectively by J. Harris and S. L'vovsky. This paper is intended to extend these results to arbitrary dimensional varieties and to the next cases.
