This paper studies space curves C of degree d and arithmetic genus g , with homogeneous ideal I and Rao module M = H * 1 ( I ˜ ) , whose main results deal with curves which satisfy 0 Ext R 2 ( M , M ) = 0 (e.g. of diameter, diam M ≤ 2 ). For such curves we find necessary and sufficient conditions for unobstructedness, and we compute the dimension of the Hilbert scheme, H ( d , g ) , at ( C ) under the sufficient conditions. In the diameter one case, the necessary and sufficient conditions coincide, and the unobstructedness of C turns out to be equivalent to the vanishing of certain graded Betti numbers of the free minimal resolution of I . More generally by taking suitable deformations of C we show how to kill repeated direct free factors (“ghost-terms”) in the minimal resolution of I , leading to a rather concrete description of the number of irreducible components of H ( d , g ) which contains an obstructed diameter one curve. We also show that every irreducible component of H ( d , g ) is reduced in the diameter one case.
