Abstract

Let ρC\rho_C be the regularity of the Hilbert function of a projective curve CC in PKn\mathbb P^n_K over an algebraically closed field KK and α1,...,αn1\alpha_1,...,\alpha_{n-1} be minimal degrees for which there exists a complete intersection of type (α1,...,αn1)(\alpha_1,...,\alpha_{n-1}) containing the curve CC. Then the Castelnuovo-Mumford regularity of CC is upper bounded by max{ρC+1,α1+...+αn1(n2)}\max\{\rho_C+1,\alpha_1+...+\alpha_{n-1}-(n-2)\}. We study and, for space curves, refine the above bound providing several examples.
