Brodmann, Markus Cohomology of certain projective surfaces with low sectional genus and degree.

Proceedings of the conference on algebraic geometry, commutative algebra, and computation, Hanoi, Vietnam, 1996. Singapore: Springer. 173-200 (1999). The aim of this paper is to prove in any characteristic the joint result of M. Brodmann and W. Vogel [Nagoya Math. J. 131, 109-126 (1993; Zbl 0779.14016)], in characteristic zero, namely: \(\text{reg}(X)\leq\deg(X)-r+3\), where \(X\) is a non-degenerated 2-Buchsbaum surface in \(\mathbb{P}^r\), \(\text{reg}(X)\) is the Castelnuovo regularity and \(\deg(X)\) is the degree. Using the new state of the art, it is essential to prove the above assertion for \(\text{reg}(X)=r+1\) and \(X\) sectionally rational, when the inequality reduces to \(\text{reg}(X)\leq 4\). This is done case by case, according to a classification of the author and P. Schenzel via the Hartshorne-Rao module of a generic hyperplane section of the surface \(X\).For the entire collection see [Zbl 0921.00043].
