Abstract: Let $A$ be a local noetherian ring and $N$ be a locally sheaf on the projective space $P_A^3$ : one proves easily that there exists a family $C$ of (smooth connected) curves contained in $P_A^3$, flat over $A$, and an integer $h$ such that the ideal sheaf $J$ of $C$ has a resolution $0oPoNoJo0$ where $P$ is a direct sum of invertible sheaves $O_P(-n_i)$. In this paper we determine, for a given sheaf $N$, all the families of curves with such a resolution, especially the minimal ones (corresponding to the minimum value of $h$). It gives a description of the biliaison class related to $N$, and a tool for constructing families of space curves.

Review text

The authors made several important contributions to the study of the Hilbert scheme of space curves with fixed genus and degree using and refining linkage theory. In particular each space curve or each flat family of space curves has an associated sheaf, \(N\), which governs its minimal free resolution. Let \(A\) be a noetherian local ring and let \(C\), \(C'\) be families of curves of \(\mathbb{P}^3_A\), flat over \(A\), with \(N\) and \(N'\) as associated sheaves. In a previous paper the authors proved that \(C\) and \(C'\) are in the same biliaison class if and only if \(N\) and \(N'\) are pseudo-isomorphic. Here the authors show how to find all families associated to a given sheaf \(N\). They prove that all such families are obtained from a minimal one by a sequence of elementary biliaisons and a deformation (Lazarsfeld-Rao property). The calculations are algorithmic in terms of a presentation of \(N\).
