Abstract:
In this paper, we prove that if , , is a locally complete intersection of pure codimension and defined scheme-theoretically by three hypersurfaces of degrees , then for using liaison theory and the Arapura vanishing theorem for singular varieties. As a corollary, a smooth threefold is projectively normal if is defined by three quintic hypersurfaces.
