Corollary 3.3 in Chapter IV of "Ample subvarieties of algebraic varieties" by R. Hartshorne asserts the following: Let $X$ be a smooth projective variety and $Y\subset X$ a smooth subvariety ...

I was looking for a detailed explanation of a standard construction involving the projective tangential variety but I'm not able to find it anywhere, so maybe here some expert can enlight me on this ...

Let $X$ be a smooth projective curve of genus $g$ over $\mathbb{C}$, $K_{X}$ be a cononical sheaf on $X$ and $\mathcal{E}$ be a locally free sheaf on $X$ s.t. $H^{0}(X,\mathcal{E}^{*})=\operatorname{...

Let $X$ be a (smooth) projective variety (over $\mathbb{C}$), and $\mathcal{L}$ an ample line bundle on $X$. I have heard that then $$ X \cong \mathrm{Proj} \left( \bigoplus_{k \ge 0} H^0(X,\mathcal{...
