| Feb 4, 2010 at 19:34 | comment | added | Pete L. Clark | I wondered this myself when I taught a course on algebraic curves last year. I think the answer is yes and that the same general strategy should work: start out in a high-dimensional projective space and show that if $N$ is large enough compared to the dimension of your variety, a general hyperplane projection will give an embedding. Have you tried just adapting the argument given in Hartshorne? Anyway, a true algebraic geometer will chime in soon enough, I'm sure. | |
