Abstract

The study of the defining equations of a finite set ΓPn\Gamma \subset \mathbb{P}^n in linearly general position has been actively attracted since it plays a significant role in understanding the defining equations of arithmetically Cohen-Macaulay varieties. In \cite{T}, R. Treger proved that I(Γ)I(\Gamma) is generated by forms of degree Γn\leq \lceil \frac{|\Gamma|}{n}\rceil. Since then, Treger's result have been extended and improved in several papers. The aim of this paper is to reprove and improve the above Treger's result from a new perspective. Our main result in this paper shows that I(Γ)I(\Gamma) is generated by the union of I(Γ)Γn1I(\Gamma)_{\leq \lceil \frac{|\Gamma|}{n}\rceil -1} and the set of all completely decomposable forms of degree Γn\lceil \frac{|\Gamma|}{n}\rceil in I(Γ)I(\Gamma). In particular, it holds that if d2nd \leq 2n then I(Γ)I(\Gamma) is generated by quadratic equations of rank 22. This reproves Saint-Donat's results in \cite{SD1} and \cite{SD2}.
