On the highest space in which a non-ruled surface of given order can lie
Published online by Cambridge University Press: 20 January 2009
Extract
It is well known that a non-ruled (i.e. not consisting of an infinity of lines) surface of order n lies in a space of not more than n dimensions n ≠ 4) and that for n > 9, the maximum dimension actually attained (here denoted by R) is certainly less than n.
