In this talk we will discuss the following question: When does there exist a curve of degree d and genus g passing through n general points in P^r? We'll focus mainly on examples in low dimensional projective spaces. We'll then explain how this naturally leads to the property of interpolation for vector bundles, a condition somewhat analogous to semistability.



This is an extra algebraic geometry seminar at a special time.
