The Hilbert function of generic plane sections of curves of \({\mathbb P}^ 3\) (Q1821166)

A characteristic condition is given on a zero-dimensional differentiable 0-sequence \(H=(h_ i)_{i\geq 0}\), \(h_ 1\leq 3\), in order to be the Hilbert function of a generic plane section of a reduced irreducible curve of \({\mathbb{P}}^ 3\), hence of points of \({\mathbb{P}}^ 2\) with the uniform position property. In this way an answer is given to some question stated by \textit{J. Harris} in 1982. The result is obtained by constructing a smooth irreducible arithmetically Cohen-Macaulay curve in \({\mathbb{P}}^ 3\) whose generic plane section has an assigned Hilbert function satisfying that condition.
