On the arithmetical rank of a special class of minimal varietiesMargherita BarileDipartimento di Matematica, Università di Bari, Via E. Orabona 4, 70125 Bari, Italy, e-mail: barile@dm.uniba.itAbstract: We study the arithmetical ranks and the cohomological dimensions of an infinite class of Cohen-Macaulay varieties of minimal degree. Among these we find, on the one hand, infinitely many set-theoretic complete intersections, on the other hand examples where the arithmetical rank is arbitrarily greater than the codimension. Keywords: minimal variety, arithmetical rank, set-theoretic complete intersection, cohomological dimension Full text of the article:
