Scientific paper

In this paper we give for all $n \geq 2$, d>0, $g \geq 0$ necessary and sufficient conditions for the existence of a pair (X,C), where X is a K3 surface of degree 2n in $\matbf{P}^{n+1}$ and C is a smooth (reduced and irreducible) curve of degree d and genus g on X. The surfaces constructed have Picard group of minimal rank possible (being either 1 or 2), and in each case we specify a set of generators. For $n \geq 4$ we also determine when X can be chosen to be an intersection of quadrics (in all other cases X has to be an intersection of both quadrics and cubics). Finally, we give necessary and sufficient conditions for $\O_C (k)$ to be non-special, for any integer $k \geq 1$.
