Abstract

We prove that the Strong Maximal Rank Conjecture holds for quadrics in P3\mathbb{P}^3 and we prove the existence of a component of the expected dimension in P4\mathbb{P}^4, as well as in a wide range of parameters (g,d)(g,d) in Pr\mathbb{P}^r with r5r\ge 5. We propose the Stratified Strong Maximal Rank Conjecture which also takes into account the rank kk of quadrics and prove it works in most of the cases when k=3k=3 and k=4k=4. We also prove a partial result that concerns the unrepresentability of the canonical bundle of a general curve as a sum of 33 pencils.
