Abstract: We study the deformations of a smooth curve C on a smooth projective threefold V, assuming the presence of a smooth surface S satisfying CsubsetSsubsetV. Generalizing a result of Mukai and Nasu, we give a new sufficient condition for a first order infinitesimal deformation of C in V to be primarily obstructed. In particular, when V is Fano and S is K3, we give a sufficient condition for C to be (un)obstructed in V, in terms of (2)-curves and elliptic curves on S. Applying this result, we prove that the Hilbert scheme operatornameHilbscV4 of smooth connected curves on a smooth quartic threefold V4 contains infinitely many generically non-reduced irreducible components, which are variations of Mumford's example for operatornameHilbscmathbbP3.
