Among these we find, on the one hand, infinitely many set-theoretic complete intersections, on the other hand examples where the arithmetical rank is arbitrarily greater than the codimension.The first part of Section 4 was rewrittenCommutative AlgebraAlgebraic Geometry14M10 (Primary); 13C40, 13D45, 14M05, 14M20 (Secondary)On the arithmetical rank of a special class of minimal varietiestext
