On certain families of elliptic curves in projective space

Algebraic Geometry 2007-05-23 v2

Abstract

We study families of elliptic curves of degree n+1 in PnP^n containing a fixed set of m points. In the case m = n+3 we show that this family is birationally isomorphic to a smooth complete intersection of n-2 diagonal quadrics in Pn+2P^{n+2}. We also describe an action of the 2-elementary abelian group 2n+22^{n+2} on this family via Cremona transformations in PnP^n.
