An application of the lemma on the logarithmic derivative in several complex variables due to A. Vitter (Q1069001)

Another proof of the following particular case of a theorem of \textit{K. Kodaira} [J. Differ. Geom. 6, 33-46 (1971; Zbl 0227.32008)] is stated: A holomorphic map of \({\mathbb{C}}^ n\) into a smooth hypersurface of degree greater than \(n+2\) in \({\mathbb{P}}^{n+1}\) must be degenerate. The present proof uses \textit{A. Vitter}'s form of Nevanlinna's lemma on logarithmic derivatives [Duke Math. J. 44, 89-104 (1977; Zbl 0361.32003)].
