A note on Abelian varieties embedded in quadrics
We show that if A is a d-dimensional abelian variety in a smooth quadric of
dimension 2d then d=1 and A is an elliptic curve of bidegree (2,2) on a
quadric. This extends a result of Van de Ven which says that A only can be
embedded in P^{2d} when d=1 or 2.Comment: 5 page
