Abstract

Let HilbP3Hilb P^3 denote the Hilbert scheme of smooth connected curves in P3P^3. We consider maximal irreducible closed subsets WHilbP3W \subset Hilb P^3 whose general member CC is contained in a smooth cubic surface and investigate the conditions for WW to be a component of (HilbP3)red(Hilb P^3)_{red}. We especially study the case where the dimension of the tangent space of HilbP3Hilb P^3 at [C][C] is greater than dimW\dim W by one. We compute obstructions to deforming CC in P3P^3 and prove that for every WW in this case, HilbP3Hilb P^3 is non-reduced along WW and WW is a component of (HilbP3)red(Hilb P^3)_{red}.
