On the failure cycles for the quadratic normality of a projective variety

Edoardo Ballico

Vol. 172 (1996), No. 2, 307–313
Abstract

Let X be a smooth projective surface and L a very ample line bundle on X which is not quadratically normal; set r + 1 = h0(X,L). Here we give numerical conditions on X and L which imply the existence of a finite subscheme T of X with length(T) 2s + 2 and contained in a dimension s r 2 linear subspace of P(H0(X,L)) and such that LT is not quadratically normal.
