Mar 2, 2023 at 11:35 comment added Invariance Dear @abx, nice example! Thanks a lot!
Mar 2, 2023 at 10:43 comment added abx There are many! A typical example: blow up a point in a surface, you get a rational curve $E$ with $E^2=-1$, hence $N^*_E=\mathscr{O}_E(1)$, which of course has no nontrivial map to $\mathscr{O}_E$.
Mar 2, 2023 at 9:55 comment added Invariance Ok thanks @abx, so in general the inclusion should fail, right? Can you provide some examples illustrating it? Thanks..
Mar 2, 2023 at 9:16 comment added abx Yes, that's exactly what I meant.
Mar 2, 2023 at 9:02 comment added Invariance Hi @abx, thanks for this criterion. Here is my attempts, please point out any possible mistakes. Since $T_X$ is globally generated, we have $$\bigoplus_i \mathcal O_X \twoheadrightarrow T_X,$$ the pull back operator gives then $$\bigoplus_i \mathcal O_Y \twoheadrightarrow {T_X}|_Y\twoheadrightarrow N_Y.$$ Thus $\operatorname{det} N_Y$ is also globally generated. Selecting a section of $\operatorname{det} N_Y$ gives the desired non-canonical injection.
Mar 2, 2023 at 1:41 comment added LSpice TeX notes: $\det N_Y$ \det N_Y spaces automatically, avoiding the need for manual spacing in \text{det } N_Y. For ad hoc operators, you can use \operatorname, like \operatorname{det} if \det weren't already defined. In $\mathcal O(Y)\,|\,_Y$ \mathcal O(Y)\,|\,_Y, the subscript attaches to the thin space, not to the vertical bar. The vertical alignment in \mathcal O(Y)|_Y is slightly different (side by side: $\vphantom{\,}_Y\vphantom|_Y$). To keep the thin space, you can use $\mathcal O(Y){\,|\,}_Y$ \mathcal O(Y){\,|\,}_Y. I have edited accordingly.

Mar 1, 2023 at 19:27 comment added Jason Starr I feel like I heard Winkelmann and Campana talk about some other cases related to Gromov's h-principle. Maybe these are cases of compact homogeneous manifolds . . .
Mar 1, 2023 at 17:47 comment added abx One case where you have such an inclusion is when $X$ is a compact homogeneous manifold: then $T_X$ is globally generated, hence so are $N_Y$ and $\det N_Y$, so picking a section of $\det N_Y$ gives an injection $\det N_Y^*\hookrightarrow \mathscr{O}_Y$ (non canonical, as Jason points out).
Mar 1, 2023 at 17:30 comment added Invariance Dear @JasonStarr, thanks for your correction! I have corrected the question.
Mar 1, 2023 at 17:29 comment added Invariance Dear @abx, you are right! I have modified the question. The case where $r\geq 2$ is surely I want to ask.

Mar 1, 2023 at 17:07 comment added Jason Starr The pullback to $Y$ of the natural inclusion $\mathcal{O}(-Y)\hookrightarrow \mathcal{O}_X$ is a zero homomorphism. So you do not have any (natural) inclusion of $N_Y^*$ into $\iota^*\mathcal{O}_X$, not even in codimension $1$.
Mar 1, 2023 at 17:04 comment added abx Don't you want $\ \det N^*_Y\subset \mathscr{O}_Y$? This is what we have for $r=1$.
