Hartshorne conjecture for varieties of lines
Let be a smooth irreducible non-degenerate variety of dimension covered by lines. For a general point , let denote the variety of lines through , and let . Hartshorne conjecture for varieties of lines. If and , then is a complete intersection. The conjecture is a proposed reduction of the Fano Hartshorne problem to the geometry of varieties of lines; the source gives some classes in which it is known, but does not resolve it in general.
