Small-degree complete-intersection conjecture for quadratic manifolds

About 14 years old · traced to

Let X⊂PNX\subset {\mathbb P}^N be a quadratic manifold of dimension nn. Small-degree complete-intersection conjecture. If

n⩾degree⁡(X)+1,n\geqslant \operatorname{degree}(X)+1,

then XX is a complete intersection, unless it is projectively equivalent to

G(1,4)⊂P9.\mathbb G(1,4)\subset {\mathbb P}^9.

The source presents this as the optimal consequence expected from the Fano version of Hartshorne's conjecture. It also notes that small-degree manifolds are known to be complete intersections, but does not resolve the stated general claim.
