Abstract

We prove the following statement, which has been conjectured since 1985: There exists a constant KK such that for all natural numbers d,gd,g with gKd3/2g\le Kd^{3/2} there exists an irreducible component of the Hilbert scheme of P3\mathbb{P}^3 whose general element is a smooth, connected curve of degree dd and genus gg of maximal rank.
