Lemma 33.34.4. Let k be a field. Let Z \subset \mathbf{P}^ n_ k be a closed subscheme which has no embedded points such that every irreducible component of Z has dimension n - 1. Then the ideal I(Z) \subset k[T_0, \ldots , T_ n] corresponding to Z is principal.
Proof. This is a special case of Divisors, Lemma 31.31.3. \square
