Abstract

Let X0X_0 be a generic quintic threefold in projective space P4\mathbf P^4 over complex numbers and C0C_0 be an irreducible rational curve on X0X_0. Let c0:P1C0X0c_0: \mathbf P^1\to C_0\subset X_0 be its normalization. In this paper, we show (1) c0c_0 must be an immersion, i.e. the differential (c0):TtP1Tc0(t)X0(c_0)_\ast: T_{t}\mathbf P^1 \to T_{c_0(t)} X_0 is injective at each tP1t\in \mathbf P^1, (2) the normal bundle of c0c_0 satisfies H1(Nc0/X0)=0.H^1(N_{c_0/X_0})=0.
