Curves on a smooth quadric.

S. Giuffrida, R. Maggioni (2003)

Collectanea Mathematica

Similarity:

We associate to every curve on a smooth quadric a polynomial equation that defines it as a divisor; this polynomial is defined through a matrix. In this way we can study several properties of these curves; in particular we can give a geometrical meaning to the rank of the matrix which defines the curve.

Some examples of Gorenstein liaison in codimension three.

Robin Hartshorne (2002)

Collectanea Mathematica

Similarity:

Gorenstein liaison seems to be the natural notion to generalize to higher codimension the well-known results about liaison of varieties of codimension 2 in projective space. In this paper we study points in P3 and curves in P4 in an attempt to see how far typical codimension 2 results will extend. While the results are satisfactory for small degree, we find in each case examples where we cannot decide the outcome. This examples are candidates for counterexamples to the hoped-for extensions...
