Abstract: We study projective varieties $Xsubsetmathbb{P}^r$ of dimension $ngeq2$, of codimension $cgeq3$ and of degree $dgeqc+3$ that are of maximal sectional regularity, i.e. varieties for which the Castelnuovo-Mumford regularity $eg(mathcalC)$ of a general linear curve section is equal to $d-c+1$, the maximal possible value (see cite{GruLPe}). As one of the main results we classify all varieties of maximal sectional regularity. If $X$ is a variety of maximal sectional regularity, then either (a) it is a divisor on a rational normal $(n+1)$-fold scroll $Ysubsetmathbb{P}^{n+3}$ or else (b) there is an $n$-dimensional linear subspace $mathbbFsubsetmathbb{P}^r$ such that $XcapmathbbFsubsetmathbbF$ is a hypersurface of degree $d-c+1$. Moreover, suppose that $n=2$ or the characteristic of the ground field is zero. Then in case (b) we obtain a precise description of $X$ as a birational linear projection of a rational normal $n$-fold scroll.

Review text

Let \(X\subset{\mathbb P}^r\) be a nondegenerate irreducible projective variety of dimension \(n\), codimension \(c\geq 2\) and degree \(d\) over an algebraically closed field \(\mathbb K\). If \(X\) is \(m\)-regular, then any \((m+1)\)-secant line to \(X\) should be contained in \(X.\)NEWLINENEWLINEA conjecture by \textit{D. Eisenbud} and \textit{S. Goto} [J. Algebra 88, 89--133 (1984; Zbl 0531.13015)] says that NEWLINE\[NEWLINE\text{reg}\,X \leq d-c+1,NEWLINE\]NEWLINE where \(\text{reg}\,X\) is the Castelnuovo-Mumford regularity of \(X.\) In particular this conjecture implies that NEWLINE\[NEWLINEX \text{ has no proper }k\text{-secant line if }k > d-c+1.NEWLINE\]NEWLINENEWLINENEWLINEThe main subject of the paper is to study the geometry of proper \((d-c+1)\)-secant lines to a projective variety.NEWLINENEWLINEOne of the main results is the classification of all varieties of \textit{maximal sectional regularity}, i.e. varieties whose general linear curve section is of maximal regularity.
