Deformations of half-canonical Gorenstein curves in codimension four

Recent work of Ablett arXiv:2112.03400 and Kapustka, Kapustka, Ranestad, Schenck, Stillman and Yuan arXiv:2111.05817 outlines a number of constructions for singular Gorenstein codimension four varieties. Earlier work of Coughlan, Gołȩbiowski, Kapustka and Kapustka arXiv:1609.01195 details a series of nonsingular Gorenstein codimension four constructions with different Betti tables. In this paper we exhibit a number of flat deformations between Gorenstein codimension four varieties in the same Hilbert scheme, realising many of the singular varieties as specialisations of the earlier nonsingular varieties.
