Fix integers $$r\ge 4$$ r ≥ 4 and $$i\ge 2$$ i ≥ 2 (for $$r=4$$ r = 4 assume $$i\ge 3$$ i ≥ 3 ). Assume that the rational number s defined by the equation $$\left( {\begin{array}{c}i+1\\ 2\end{array}}\right) s+(i+1)=\left( {\begin{array}{c}r+i\\ i\end{array}}\right)$$ i + 1 2 s + ( i + 1 ) = r + i i is an integer. Fix an integer $$d\ge s$$ d ≥ s . Divide $$d-1=ms+\epsilon$$ d - 1 = m s + ϵ , $$0\le \epsilon \le s-1$$ 0 ≤ ϵ ≤ s - 1 , and set $$G(r;d,i):=\left( {\begin{array}{c}m\\ 2\end{array}}\right) s+m\epsilon$$ G ( r ; d , i ) : = m 2 s + m ϵ . As a number, G(r; d, i) is nothing but the Castelnuovo’s bound $$G(s+1;d)$$ G ( s + 1 ; d ) for a curve of degree d in $${\mathbb {P}}^{s+1}$$ P s + 1 . In the present paper we prove that G(r; d, i) is also an upper bound for the genus of a reduced and irreducible complex projective curve in $${\mathbb {P}}^r$$ P r , of degree $$d\gg \max \{r,i\}$$ d ≫ max { r , i } , not contained in hypersurfaces of degree $$\le i$$ ≤ i . We prove that the bound G(r; d, i) is sharp if and only if there exists an integral surface $$S\subset {\mathbb {P}}^r$$ S ⊂ P r of degree s, not contained in hypersurfaces of degree $$\le i$$ ≤ i . Such a surface, if existing, is necessarily the isomorphic projection of a rational normal scroll surface of degree s in $${\mathbb {P}}^{s+1}$$ P s + 1 . The existence of such a surface S is known for $$r\ge 5$$ r ≥ 5 , and $$2\le i \le 3$$ 2 ≤ i ≤ 3 . It follows that, when $$r\ge 5$$ r ≥ 5 , and $$i=2$$ i = 2 or $$i=3$$ i = 3 , the bound G(r; d, i) is sharp, and the extremal curves are isomorphic projection in $${\mathbb {P}}^r$$ P r of Castelnuovo’s curves of degree d in $${\mathbb {P}}^{s+1}$$ P s + 1 . We do not know whether the bound G(r; d, i) is sharp for $$i>3$$ i > 3 .

scite is a Brooklyn-based organization that helps researchers better discover and understand research articles through Smart Citations–citations that display the context of the citation and describe whether the article provides supporting or contrasting evidence. scite is used by students and researchers from around the world and is funded in part by the National Science Foundation and the National Institute on Drug Abuse of the National Institutes of Health.
