The factoriality conjecture for nodal hypersurfaces in projective four-space

About 21 years old · traced to

Let V⊂P4V\subset\mathbb{P}^{4} be a hypersurface of degree dd with at most isolated ordinary double points, and let Sing(V)\mathrm{Sing}(V) denote its singular locus. Factoriality conjecture. If

∣Sing(V)∣<(d−1)2,|\mathrm{Sing}(V)|<(d-1)^{2},

then VV is factorial. This extends the preceding factoriality result for double solids; the source gives no resolution of the conjecture in this generality.
