Generalized adjoint forms on algebraic varieties

We prove a full generalization of the Castelnuovo’s free pencil trick. We show its analogies with Rizzi and Zucconi (Differential forms and quadrics of the canonical image. arXiv:1409.1826, Theorem 2.1.7); see also Pirola and Zucconi (J Algebraic Geom 12(3):535–572, Theorem 1.5.1). Moreover we find a new formulation of the Griffiths’s infinitesimal Torelli Theorem for smooth projective hypersurfaces using meromorphic 1-forms. © 2016 Fondazione Annali di Matematica Pura ed Applicata and Springer-Verlag Berlin Heidelberg
