Integral subschemes of codimension two

From MaRDI portal




Abstract: In this paper we study the problem of describing the integral subschemes within a fixed even linkage class L of subschemes in Pn of codimension two. In the case that L is not the class of arithmetically Cohen-Macaulay subschemes, we associate to any XinL two invariants hetaX and etaX. When taken with the height hX, each of these invariants determines the location of X in L, thought of as a poset under domination. In terms of these invariants, necessary conditions are given for integral subschemes. The necessary conditions are almost sufficient in the sense that if a subscheme X satisfies the necessary conditions and dominates an integral subscheme Y, then X can be deformed with constant cohomology through subschemes in L to an integral subscheme. In particular, if an even linkage class has a minimal element which is integral, then the conditions are both necessary and sufficient.
