Abstract:
We introduce and study a likely condition that implies the
following form of Clemens’ conjecture in degrees d between 10 and 24: given
a general quintic threefold F in complex P^4, the Hilbert scheme of rational,
smooth and irreducible curves C of degree d on F is finite, nonempty, and
reduced; moreover, each C is embedded in F with balanced normal sheaf
O(−1) ⊕ O(−1), and in P^4 with maximal rank.
