Fano version of Hartshorne's complete-intersection conjecture

About 17 years old · traced to

Let X⊂PNX\subset {\mathbb P}^N be a smooth projective variety of dimension nn and codimension cc satisfying the hypotheses denoted by (∗)(*) in the source. Fano Hartshorne conjecture. If

n⩾2c+1n\geqslant 2c+1

and XX is Fano, then XX is a complete intersection. This is stated as a weaker version of Hartshorne's conjecture. It is known when c=2c=2, but remains open in general.
