A closed subscheme $$Y\subset {\mathbb{P}}_ n$$ is said to be of maximal rank if for all $$k\geq 1$$ the restriction map $$H^ 0({\mathbb{P}}_ n,{\mathcal O}_{{\mathbb{P}}_ n}(k))\to H^ 0(Y,{\mathcal O}_ Y(k))$$ is injective or surjective. In this pioneering paper it is proved that for all $$n\geq 3$$ and all $$r>0$$ the union of r disjoint general lines in $${\mathbb{P}}_ n$$ has maximal rank. The method of this paper (with technical refinements) is used in many other papers to construct curves of maximal rank and vector bundles with good cohomology [see e.g. the authors, ”Cohomology of a general istanton bundle”, Ann. Sci. Ec. Norm. Super., IV. Sér. 15, 365- 390 (1982; Zbl 0509.14015)].
