Abstract
In this paper we study smooth, non-special scrolls S of degree d, genus g ≥ 0, with general moduli. In particular, we study the scheme of unisecant curves of a given degree on S. Our approach is mostly based on degeneration techniques.
Keywords Ruled surfaces, Hilbert schemes of scrolls, Moduli, Embedded degenerations
