Higher Castelnuovo conjecture for points in symmetric position

Let Γ\Gamma be a set of dd points in symmetric position in Pn1{\bf P}^{n-1}, where 1mn31\leq m\leq n-3. Suppose that

d2n+2m1d\geq 2n+2m-1

and

hΓ(2)=2n+m2.h_\Gamma(2)=2n+m-2.

Higher Castelnuovo conjecture. Then Γ\Gamma lies on a curve DD of degree at most n+m2n+m-2. This is related to the Eisenbud–Harris conjecture for curves: the cases m=1m=1 and m=2m=2 are respectively Castelnuovo's lemma and the Eisenbud–Harris lemma, while the paper establishes the cases m=3m=3 for n6n\geq6 and m=4m=4 for n8n\geq8.
