We prove that the Veronese embedding phi (OPn(d)): P-n --> P-N with n great
er than or equal to2, d greater than or equal to3 does not satisfy property
N-p (according to Green and Lazarsfeld) if p greater than or equal to 3d-2
. We make the conjecture that also the converse holds. This is true for n=2
and for n=d=3.
