Even G-liaison classes of some unions of curves (Q2576935)

A curve \(C \subset {\mathbb P}^n\) is a pure \(1\)-dimensional locally Cohen-Macaulay closed subscheme. Its Rao function is the sequence \(\{ h^1(\mathcal {I}_C(t))\}\), \(t \geq 0\). Here the authors gives sharp upper bounds for this functions, under the assumption that the general hyperplane section of \(C\) spans a linear subspace of dimension \(n-k\). To prove that their bound is sharp they produce examples using Gorenstein liaison.
