Brill-Noether theory of binary curves

چکیده
The theorems of Riemann, Clifford and Martens are proved for every line bundle parametrized by the compactified Jacobian of every binary curve. The Clifford index is used to characterize hyperelliptic and trigonal binary curves. The Brill-Noether theorem for r ≤ 2 is proved for a general binary curve.

Brill-noether Theory for Curves of a Fixed Gonality
We prove a generalization of the Brill–Noether theorem for the variety of special divisors W r d (C) on a general curve C of prescribed gonality. The main result calculates the dimension of the largest component of W r d (C). We build on previous work of Pflueger, who used an analysis of the tropical divisor theory on special chains of cycles to give upper bounds on the dimensions of Brill–Noet...
متن کاملHigher Rank Brill–noether Theory on Sections of K3 Surfaces
We discuss the role of K3 surfaces in the context of Mercat’s conjecture in higher rank Brill–Noether theory. Using liftings of Koszul classes, we show that Mercat’s conjecture in rank 2 fails for any number of sections and for any gonality stratum along a Noether– Lefschetz divisor inside the locus of curves lying on K3 surfaces. Then we show that Mercat’s conjecture in rank 3 fails even for c...
متن کاملThe Maximal Rank Conjecture and Rank Two Brill-Noether Theory
We describe applications of Koszul cohomology to the BrillNoether theory of rank 2 vector bundles. Among other things, we show that in every genus g > 10, there exist curves invalidating Mercat’s Conjecture for rank 2 bundles. On the other hand, we prove that Mercat’s Conjecture holds for general curves of bounded genus, and its failure locus is a Koszul divisor in the moduli space of curves. W...
متن کاملAlgebraic and combinatorial Brill-Noether theory
The interplay between algebro-geometric and combinatorial Brill-Noether theory is studied. The Brill-Noether locus W r d (Γ) of a genus-g (non-metric) graph Γ is shown to be non-empty if the BrillNoether number ρd(g) is non-negative, as a consequence of the analogous fact for smooth projective curves. Similarly, the existence of a graph Γ for which W r d (Γ) is empty implies the emptiness of W ...
متن کاملBrill-Noether theory on singular curves and vector bundles on K3 surfaces
Let C be a smooth curve. Let W r d be the Brill-Noether locus of line bundles of degree d and with r + 1 independent sections. W r d has a expected dimension ρ(r, d) = g − (r + 1)(g − d + r). If ρ(r, d) > 0 then Fulton and Lazarsfeld have proved that W r d is connected. We prove that this is still true if C is a singular irreducible curve lying on a regular surface S with −KS generated by globa...
