Given n general points p1,p2,…,pn∈Pr, it is natural to ask when there exists a curve C⊂Pr, of degree d and genus g, passing through p1,p2,…,pn. In this paper, the authors give a complete answer to this question for curves C with nonspecial hyperplane section. This result is a consequence of our main theorem, which states that the normal bundle NC of a general nonspecial curve of degree d and genus g in Pr (with d≥g+r) has the property of interpolation (i.e. that for a general effective divisor D of any degree on C, either H0(NC(−D))=0 or H1(NC(−D))=0), with exactly three exceptions.

This volume contains a collection of papers on algebraic curves and their applications.
This textbook uses examples, exercises, diagrams, and unambiguous proof, to help students make the link between classical and differential geometries.
... order terms are of sizes p3/2, p, p1/2, and 1. In every case we are able to analyze, the largest lower order term in the second moment expansion that does not average to zero is on average negative. We prove this “bias conjecture” for ...
