Much of the liaison theory was originally built around linking with complete intersections. One says that two varieties are linked if their union is a complete intersection. This has been well studied in codimension 2, but in higher codimension there are still many open problems. If the given variety is not arithmetically Cohen-Macaulay, but only locally Cohen-Macaulay, even in codimension 2 we can not link the variety a number of times successively to end up with a complete intersection. Consequently a new notion of linkage had to be introduced, where two varieties are G-linked if their union is arithmetically Gorenstein [see \textit{P. Schenzel}, J. Math. Kyoto Univ. 22, 485--498 (1982; Zbl 0506.13012)]. However, this has been studied less since to find non-complete intersection arithmetically Gorenstein varieties containing a given variety is not so easy. The paper under review starts from the question whether all arithmetically Cohen-Macaulay subvarieties in projective space are glicci, that is, linked (successively) by arithmetically Gorenstein varieties to a complete intersection. The first main result says that suitable liftings of Artinian monomial ideals are glicci. The second one is that any arithmetically Cohen-Macaulay subscheme of the projective space can be deformed to a subscheme which is glicci. Thus the authors have found an affirmative answer to the initial question ``up to flat deformation.
