As an application, we prove the existence of geometrically rigid curves of arbitrary degree and explicitly bounded genus on general complete intersection Calabi-Yau threefolds.8 pages, LaTeX2eAlgebraic Geometry14C05, 14J32 (Primary); 14C25, 14J28 (SecondaryOn the existence of curves in K-trivial threefoldstext
