The purpose of this paper is to study the connectedness of the Hilbert scheme H(d,g) of degree d and genus g curves (locally Cohen-Macaulay) in P3. Thanks to the method of triads, we show that a large class of curves (the curves whose Rao-module is Koszul, i.e. a complete intersection) are in the connected component of extremal curves. This generalizes widely several recent results.
The goal of this paper is to develop tools to study maximal families of Gorenstein quotients A of a polynomial ring R. We prove a very general theorem on deformations of the homogeneous coordinate ring of a scheme Proj(A) which is defined as the degeneracy locus of a regular section of the dual of some sheaf M of rank r supported on say an arithmetically Cohen-Macaulay subscheme Proj(B) of Proj(R). Under certain conditions (notably; M maximally Cohen-Macaulay and ∧r M ≈ KB(t) a twist of the canonical...
