The space of twisted cubics
Journal article, 2021

We consider the Cohen-Macaulay compactification of the space of twisted cubics in Pn. This compactification is the fine moduli scheme representing the functor of CM-curves with Hilbert polynomial 3t + 1. We show that the moduli scheme of CM-curves in P3 is isomorphic to the twisted cubic component of the Hilbert scheme. We also describe the compactification for twisted cubics in Pn
