The Genus of Curves in P4 and P5.
We consider the Hilbert scheme of space curves with homogeneous ideal and Rao module . By taking suitable generizations (deformations to a more general curve) of , we simplify the minimal free resolution of by e.g making consecutive free summands (ghost-terms) disappear in a free resolution of . Using this for Buchsbaum curves of diameter one ( for only one ), we establish a one-to-one correspondence between the set of irreducible components of that contain and a set of minimal...
This paper studies space curves of degree and arithmetic genus , with homogeneous ideal and Rao module , whose main results deal with curves which satisfy (e.g. of diameter, ). For such curves we find necessary and sufficient conditions for unobstructedness, and we compute the dimension of the Hilbert scheme, , at under the sufficient conditions. In the diameter one case, the necessary and sufficient conditions coincide, and the unobstructedness of turns out to be equivalent to the...
