%0 Journal Article %T Irreducibility of G-varieties defined by quadrics %A Cesar Massri %J Mathematics %D 2012 %I arXiv %X Let $\mathfrak{g}$ be a complex semisimple Lie algebra, $G$ a simply connected and connected Lie group with Lie algebra $\mathfrak{g}$ and $V$ a finite dimensional representation. We prove that the zero locus of quadrics containing $G.y$ is an irreducible variety in $\PP V$. %U http://arxiv.org/abs/1202.5531v3
