We study the Hilbert scheme (Hilb V) of smooth connected curves on a smooth del Pezzo 3-fold V. We prove that every degenerate curve C, i.e. every curve contained in a smooth hyperplane section S of V, does not deform to a non-degenerate…

Let $Hilb P^3$ denote the Hilbert scheme of smooth connected curves in $P^3$. We consider maximal irreducible closed subsets $W \subset Hilb P^3$ whose general member $C$ is contained in a smooth cubic surface and investigate the conditions…

We study the deformations of a smooth curve $C$ on a smooth projective threefold $V$, assuming the presence of a smooth surface $S$ satisfying $C \subset S \subset V$. Generalizing a result of Mukai and Nasu, we give a new sufficient…

Let $C\subset{\mathbb P}^{g-1}$ be a canonically embedded nonsingular nonhyperelliptic curve of genus $g$ and let $X\subset{\mathbb P}^{g-1}$ be a quadric containing $C$. Our main result states among other things that the Hilbert scheme of…

We study the deformations of a curve $C$ on an Enriques-Fano $3$-fold $X \subset \mathbb P^n$, assuming that $C$ is contained in a smooth hyperplane section $S \subset X$, that is a smooth Enriques surface in $X$. We give a sufficient…

We prove that for every smooth prime Fano $3$-fold $V$, the Hilbert scheme $\operatorname{Hilb}^{sc} V$ of smooth connected curves on $V$ contains a generically non-reduced irreducible component of Mumford type. We also study the…

In this paper, we study the deformations of curves in the projective 3-space $\mathbb P^3$ (space curves), one of the most classically studied objects in algebraic geometry. We prove a conjecture due to J. O. Kleppe (in fact, a version…

We study maximal families W of the Hilbert scheme, H(d,g)_{sc}, of smooth connected space curves whose general curve C lies on a smooth surface S of degree s. We give conditions on C under which W is a generically smooth component of…

Classification of curves in a projective space occupies minds of many mathematicians. First step in doing so is classification of curves on a given surface. This brings us to consideration of the nonsingular Del Pezzo Surface in $P^4_k.$ We…

For $\gamma \geq 7$ and $g \geq 6\gamma + 5$, we construct a family $\mathcal{F}^{\prime}$ of curves lying on cones in $\mathbb{P}^{g-3\gamma+1}$ over smooth non-degenerate curves of genus $\gamma$ and degree $g-2\gamma$ in…

We continue the study of maximal families W of the Hilbert scheme, H(d,g)_{sc}, of smooth connected space curves whose general curve C lies on a smooth degree-s surface S containing a line. For s > 3, we extend the two ranges where W is a…

This paper studies the obstructions to deforming a map from a complex variety to another variety which is an immersion of codimension one. We extend the classical notion of semiregularity of subvarieties to maps between varieties, and show…

This paper studies space curves C of degree d and arithmetic genus g, with homogeneous ideal I and Rao module M = H_{*}^1(I^~), whose main results deal with curves which satisfy Ext^2(M,M)_0=0 (e.g. of diameter, diam M < 3, which means that…

Let $C$ be an irreducible, reduced, non-degenerate curve, of arithmetic genus $g$ and degree $d$, in the projective space $\mathbf P^4$ over the complex field. Assume that $C$ satisfies the following {\it flag condition of type $(s,t)$}:…
