Abstract

In this note we introduce the notion of (b,d)(b,d)-geprofi sets and study their basic properties. These are sets of bdbd points in P4\mathbb{P}^4 whose projection from a general point to a hyperplane is a full intersection, i.e., the intersection of a curve of degree bb and a surface of degree dd. We show that such nontrivial sets exist if and only if b4b\geq 4 and d2d\geq 2. Somewhat surprisingly, for infinitely many values of bb and dd there exist such sets in linear general position. The note contains open questions and problems.
