Abstract

We introduce and study a likely condition that implies the following form of Clemens' conjecture in degrees dd between 10 and 24: given a general quintic threefold FF in complex \IP4\IP^4, the Hilbert scheme of rational, smooth and irreducible curves CC of degree dd on FF is finite, nonempty, and reduced; moreover, each CC is embedded in FF with balanced normal sheaf \O(1)\O(1)\O(-1)\oplus\O(-1), and in \IP4\IP^4 with maximal rank.

Plain Tex, This eleven page paper is a joint manuscript, produced in connection with the first author's participation in the conference "Geometry and Physics", Zlatograd, Bulgaria, August 28 - Sept.2, 1995." This version contains a small change in Remark (3.3); the hope expressed there has been refined
