Abstract: We explore injective morphisms from complex projective varieties

X

to projective spaces

m a t h b b P^{s}

of small dimension. Based on connectedness theorems, we prove that the ambient dimension

s

needs to be at least

2 d i m X

for all injections given by a linear subsystem of a strict power of a line bundle. Using this, we give an example where the smallest ambient dimension cannot be attained from any embedding

X h o o k r i g h t a r r o w m a t h b b P^{n}

by linear projections. Our focus then lies on

X = m a t h b b P^{n_{1}} i m e s l d o t s i m e s m a t h b b P^{n_{r}}

, in which case there is a close connection to secant loci of Segre--Veronese varieties and the rank

2

geometry of partially symmetric tensors, as well as on

X = m a t h b b P (q_{0}, l d o t s, q_{n})

, which is linked to separating invariants for representations of finite cyclic groups. We showcase three techniques for constructing injections

X o m a t h b b P^{2 d i m X}

in specific cases.
