The second syzygy schemes of curves of large degree

The present paper is a natural continuation of a previous work where we studied the second syzygy scheme of canonical curves. We find sufficient conditions ensuring that the second syzygy scheme of a genus–$g$ curve of degree at least $2g+2$ coincide with the curve. If the property $(N_2)$ is satisfied, the equality is ensured by a more general fact. If $(N_2)$ fails, then the analysis uses the known case of canonical curves.
