Abstract: A subscheme $XsubsetBbb{P}^{n+3}$ of codimension $3$ is {em Pfaffian} if it is the degeneracy locus of a skew-symmetric map $$ with $calE$ a locally free sheaf of odd rank on $Bbb{P}^{n+3}$. It is shown that a codimension $3$ subscheme $XsubsetBbb{P}^{n+3}$ is Pfaffian if and only if it is locally Gorenstein, subcanonical (i.e. $omeg{a}_{X}congcal{O}_X(l)$ for some integer $l$), and the following parity condition holds: if $nequiv0pmod4$ and $l$ is even, then $chi(cal{O}_X(l/2))$ is also even. The paper includes a modern version of the Horrocks correspondence, stated in the language of derived categories. A local analogue of the main theorem is also proved.
