review text: A subscheme \(Y\subset\mathbb P^ n\) is called arithmetically Buchsbaum if \(H^ p({\mathcal I}_{Y\cap M}(*))\) has trivial module structure for any linear subspace \(M\) of dimension \(m\) and \(p=1,...,m-2\). The main purpose of this article is to prove the following theorem: Let \(Y\) be a codimension-2 subscheme of \(\mathbb P^ n\) for \(n\geq 3\). Then \(Y\) is arithmetically Buchsbaum if and only if there exists an exact sequence \[ 0\to \oplus {\mathcal O}(-a_ i)\to \oplus \ell_ j\Omega^{p_ j}(-k_ j)\oplus {\mathcal O}(-c_ s)\to {\mathcal I}_ Y\to 0 \] where \(P_ j\neq 0\). The theorem, coupled with a general result [see the review of the author's paper, J. Reine Angew. Math. 397, 214--219 (1989; Zbl 0663.14008)] concerning smoothness or reducedness of the dependency locus of a map between vector bundles, allows us to determine the admissible \((a_ i,\ell_ j,p_ j,k_ j,c_ s)\), hence to give a classification of codimension-2 arithmetically Buchsbaum subschemes in \(\mathbb P^ n\) [the author, J. Reine Angew. Math. 401, 101--112 (1989; Zbl 0672.14026)]. Other applications of the theorem include bounding the degree and the number of minimal generators of \(\oplus H^ 0({\mathcal I}_ Y(k))\) and the regularity.
