Comments

Arises in complete intersection threefolds,

Also can be produced as a triangle read by rows: a(n, k) = nk - (n + k). - Alonso del Arte, Jul 09 2009

Kosta: Let X be a complete intersection of two hypersurfaces F_n and F_k in the projective space P^5 of degree n and k respectively. with n=>k, such that the singularities of X are nodal and F_k is smooth. We prove that if the threefold X has at most (n+k-2)*(n-1) - 1 singular points, then it is factorial.
