Abstract

Let X=X1XsPnX=X_1\cup \cdots \cup X_s\subset \mathbb {P}^n, n4n\ge 4, be a general union of smooth non-special curves with XiX_i of degree did_i and genus gig_i and dimax{2gi1,gi+n}d_i\ge \max \{2g_i-1,g_i+n\} if gi>0g_i>0. We prove that XX has maximal rank, i.e. for any tNt\in \mathbb {N} either h0(IX(t))=0h^0(\mathcal{I}_X(t))=0 or h1(IX(t))=0h^1(\mathcal{I}_X(t))=0.
