Abstract
The Ciliberto-Di Gennaro conjecture predicts that a nodal hypersurface of degree with at most nodes is either factorial, or contains a plane and has at least nodes, or contains a quadric surface and has nodes. This conjecture is classically known for . In 2022 the author proved this conjecture for by the author. Kvitko announced a proof for in 2025. In this paper we prove the conjecture for the remaining open value of , namely .
