Abstract: Let $Xsubset{P}^n$ be a complex projective manifold of degree $d$ and arbitrary dimension. The main result of this paper gives a classification of such manifolds (assumed moreover to be connected, non-degenerate and linearly normal) in case $dleqn$. As a by-product of the classification it follows that these manifolds are either rational or Fano. In particular, they are simply connected (hence regular) and of negative Kodaira dimension. Moreover, easy examples show that $dleqn$ is the best possible bound for such properties to hold true. The proof of our theorem makes essential use of the adjunction mapping and, in particular, the main result of 'On varieties whose degree is small with respect to codimension' (Math.Ann. 271 1985) plays a crucial role in the argument.

Review text

Let \(X\subset \mathbb P^n\) be a complex connected projective manifold of dimension \(r\) and degree \(d\). Assume that \(X\) is non-degenerate. The main result of this interesting article is that, if \(X\) is linearly normal and \(d\leq n\), then one of the following holds true: (1) \(b_2(X)=1\) and \(X\) is Fano; (2) \(b_2(X)\geq 2\) and \(X\) is rational. As a topological consequence, the author points out that these manifolds are all simply connected. The author also classifies the manifolds of case (2), giving the complete list, which comprises \(6\) infinite series of manifolds, having arbitrarily large dimension and degree, and \(14\) sporadic examples. In case (1) a classification is also given, but assuming that Hartshorne's conjecture holds for Fano manifolds. The methods of proof rely on adjunction theory and in particular on the results of T. Fujita on manifolds of small \(\Delta\)-genus and on previous work of the author, depending on some results of S. Mori for threefolds whose canonical bundles are not nef (see [\textit{P. Ionescu}, Math. Ann. 271, 339--348 (1985; Zbl 0541.14032)]).
