On the Koszul cohomology of canonical and Prym-canonical binary curves

The Tangent Cones at Double points of Prym-Canonical Divisors of Curves of genus 7

Let η be a line bundle on a smooth curve X with η^2=0 such that π_η, the double covering induced by η is an etale morphism. Assume also that X_η be the Prym-canonical model of X associated to K_X.η and Q is a rank 4 quadric containing X_η. After stablishing the projective normality of the prym-canonical models of curves X with Clifford index 2, we obtain in this paper a sufficient condition for...

The Curve of “prym Canonical” Gauss Divisors on a Prym Theta Divisor

Introduction: A good understanding of the geometry of a theta divisor Θ of a principally polarized abelian variety (A,Θ) requires a knowledge of properties of its canonical linear system, the Gauss linear system |OΘ(Θ)|. A striking feature of the theta divisor Θ(C) of the Jacobian of a curve C is that the dual of the branch divisor of the associated Gauss map γΘ on Θ, is not a hypersurface as e...

Canonical Heights on Hyperelliptic Curves

We describe an algorithm to compute canonical heights of points on hyperelliptic curves over number fields, using Arakelov geometry. We include a worked example for illustration purposes.

Cohomology of Canonical Projection Tilings

We define the cohomology of a tiling as the cocycle cohomology of its associated groupoid and consider this cohomology for the class of tilings which are obtained from a higher dimensional lattice by the canonical projection method in Schlottmann’s formulation. We prove the cohomology to be equivalent to a certain cohomology of the lattice. We discuss one of its qualitative features, namely tha...
