Holomorphically Equivalent Algebraic Embeddings

Abstract

We prove that two algebraic embeddings of a smooth variety $X$ in $\mathbb{C}^m$ are the same up to a holomorphic coordinate change, provided that $2 \dim X + 1$ is smaller than or equal to $m$. This improves an algebraic result of Nori and Srinivas. For the proof we extend a technique of Kaliman using generic linear projections of $\mathbb{C}^m$.
