Abstract: Let $$ be an integral projective curve. One defines the speciality index $e(C)$ of $C$ as the maximal integer $t$ such that $h^0(C,omeg{a}_C(-t))>0$, where $omeg{a}_C$ denotes the dualizing sheaf of $C$. Extending a classical result of Halphen concerning the speciality of a space curve, in the present paper we prove that if $$ is an integral degree $d$ curve not contained in any surface of degree $<s$, in any threefold of degree $<t$, and in any fourfold of degree $<u$, and if $d>>s>>t>>ugeq1$, then $e(C)leqfracds+fracst+fractu+u-6.$ Moreover equality holds if and only if $C$ is a complete intersection of hypersurfaces of degrees $u$, $fractu$, $fracst$ and $fracds$. We give also some partial results in the general case $$, $rgeq3$.

Review text

Let \(C \subset \mathbb {P}^r\) be an integral non-degenerate degree \(d\) projective curve. The index of speciality \(e(C)\) of \(C\) is the maximal integer \(t\) such that \(h^0(C,\omega _C(-t)) > 0\). Here the authors extend to the case \(r >3\) a classical theorem of Halphen (case \(r=3\)). For instance, if \(r=5\) and \(C\) is not contained in any surface of degree \(<s\), any threefold of degree \(<u\) and any fourfold of degree \(<s\) and \(d \gg s \gg t \gg u\), then \(e(C) \leq d/s + s/t + t/u +u-6\), with equality if and only if \(C\) is a complete intersection of hypersurfaces of degree \(u, t/u, s/t, d/s\).
