A note on scrolls of smallest embedded codimension

Abstract: Let

M

be a submanifold of

{B b b P}^{N}

of dimension

n > 2

. Suppose that

(M, {C a l O}_{M} (1)) c o n g B b b P (C a l E), C a l O (1))

for some vector bundle

C a l E

on a surface

S

. Then

N g e 2 n - 1

by Barth-Lefschetz Theorem. We are interested in the case

N = 2 n - 1

. In 1994 Ionescu and Toma gave a classification of the cases where

S

is not of general type. Here we propose a conjecture concerning this remaining case, which is verified for

n l e 1100

by a computer programm.
