Weak Fano volumes obtained by blowing up a curve in P^3
This paper simplifies the main result of \textit{J. Blanc} and \textit{S. Lamy} [Proc. Lond. Math. Soc. (3) 105, No. 5, 1047--1075 (2012; Zbl 1258.14015)], about blow-ups of smooth curves in \(\mathbb P^3\) that are weak Fano threefolds. Let \(C \subset \mathbb P^3\) be a smooth curve of genus \(g\) and degree \(d\), and \(X\) the blow-up of \(\mathbb P^3\) along \(C\). Then \(X\) is a weak Fano threefold, meaning that the anticanonical divisor is big and nef, if and only if \((g,d)\) belongs to an explicit list of about \(40\) possibilities, and \(C\) is sufficiently general. In the original article of Blanc and Lamy this last condition was expressed in a somewhat complicated manner, in terms involving 9-secant conics and 13-secant twisted cubics to the curve \(C\). In the present paper it is shown that the generality condition can be cleanly expressed by only asking that the curve \(C\) does not admit any 5-secant line. The strategy of proof is to show that the ideal of the curve \(C\) is generated by quartic surfaces. In turn, this follows by computing explicitely in each case a minimal graded resolution of the ideal.
