Abstract: A classical theorem by Hartshorne states that the dual graph of any arithmetically Cohen--Macaulay projective scheme is connected. We give a quantitative version of Hartshorne's result, in terms of Castelnuovo--Mumford regularity. If $Xsubsetmathbb{P}^n$ is an arithmetically Gorenstein projective scheme of regularity $r+1$, and if every irreducible component of $X$ has regularity $le{r}^{\prime }$, we show that the dual graph of $X$ is $lfloorfracr+r^{\prime }-1r^{\prime }floor$-connected. The bound is sharp. We also provide a strong converse to Hartshorne's result: Every connected graph is the dual graph of a suitable arithmetically Cohen-Macaulay projective curve of regularity $le3$, whose components are all rational normal curves. The regularity bound is smallest possible in general. Further consequences of our work are: (1) Any graph is the Hochster-Huneke graph of a complete equidimensional local ring. (This answers a question by Sather-Wagstaff and Spiroff.) (2) The regularity of a curve is not larger than the sum of the regularities of its primary components.
