Star configurations are set-theoretic complete intersections

Abstract: Let

m a t h c a l A s u b s e t m a t h b b P^{k - 1}

be a rank

k

arrangement of

n

hyperplanes, with the property that any

k

of the defining linear forms are linearly independent (i.e.,

m a t h c a l A

is called

k -

generic). We show that for any

j = 0, l d o t s, k - 2

, the subspace arrangement with defining ideal generated by the

(n - j) -

fold products of the defining linear forms of

m a t h c a l A

is a set-theoretic complete intersection, which is equivalent to saying that star configurations have this property.
