In this article we prove results concerning the vanishing of Koszul cohomol
ogy groups on K3 surfaces and n-dimensional Fano varieties of index n - 2.
As an application of these vanishings we obtain results on projective norma
lity and syzygies for K3 surfaces and Fano varieties. (C) 2000 Elsevier Sci
