Set-theoretic complete intersection monomial curves in \({\mathbb{P}^n}\) (Q444115)

Improving Keum's result for space monomial curves and generalizing it to an \(n\) dimensional projective space, the present paper shows that there are infinitely many set theoretic complete intersection monomial curves in \(\mathbb{P}^n\), for every suitably choosen \(n-1\) positive integers. For any relatively prime integers \(p\) and \(q\) this particularly says that the monomial curve with a generic zero \((u^{r},u^{r-p}v^{p},u^{r-q}v^{q},v^{r})\) in \(\mathbb{P}^3\) is a set theoretic complete intersection for each \(r \geq pq(q-1)\).
