Abstract

A component of very free rational curves on a variety is called unbalanced if the normal bundle of a general member is unbalanced. In this paper we show that all components of very free rational curves on a Fano threefold of Picard number one are balanced with the only exception being the space of conics on $\mathbb{P}^3$.
