Abstract:In this paper, we prove the degree upper bound of projective subschemes in terms of the reduction number and show that the maximal cases are only arithmetically Cohen–Macaulay with linear resolutions. Furthermore, it can be shown that there are only two types of reduced, irreducible projective varieties with almost maximal degree. We also give the possible explicit Betti tables for almost maximal cases. In addition, interesting examples are provided to understand our main results.
scite is a Brooklyn-based organization that helps researchers better discover and understand research articles through Smart Citations–citations that display the context of the citation and describe whether the article provides supporting or contrasting evidence. scite is used by students and researchers from around the world and is funded in part by the National Science Foundation and the National Institute on Drug Abuse of the National Institutes of Health.
