Abstract: Let $G$ be the Grassmannian $G(d,n)$, let $X$ and $Y$ be complete irreducible varieties, and let $XightarrowG$ and $YightarrowG$ be morphisms. Hansen proved that $Xime{s}_{G}Y$ is connected when $codimf(X)+codimg(Y)<n$. We show that the conclusion holds under the often weaker hypothesis $f(X).g(Y).Te0$, where $T$ is the class of $G(d,n-1)$ in $G$. We prove similar results when $G$ is a product of projective spaces. In particular, if $D$ is an irreducible subvariety of $P^{n}imes{P}^n$ of dimension $n$ which dominates both factors, and if $X$ is complete irreducible, with a morphism $f:Xightarrow{P}^{n}imes{P}^n$ such that $dimf(X)>n$, $f^{-1}(D)$ is connected. This extends the classical Fulton-Hansen connectedness theorem. These results illustrate Fulton and Lazarsfeld's idea that connectedness should be a numerical property.
