Residues and duality
We characterize the postulation character of arithmetically Gorenstein curves in P. We give conditions under which the curve can be realized in the form mH - K on some ACM surface. Finally, we complement a theorem by Watanabe by showing that any general arithmetically Gorenstein curve in P with arbitrary fixed postulation character can be obtained from a line by a series of ascending complete-intersection biliaisons.
Gorenstein liaison seems to be the natural notion to generalize to higher codimension the well-known results about liaison of varieties of codimension 2 in projective space. In this paper we study points in P3 and curves in P4 in an attempt to see how far typical codimension 2 results will extend. While the results are satisfactory for small degree, we find in each case examples where we cannot decide the outcome. This examples are candidates for counterexamples to the hoped-for extensions of codimension...
On montre que la réunion générale d’une courbe rationnelle avec des droites dans est de rang maximum.
