Curves with Canonical Models on Scrolls

Algebraic Geometry 2015-02-27 v1

Abstract

Let CC be an integral and projective curve whose canonical model CC' lies on a rational normal scroll SS of dimension nn. We mainly study some properties on CC, such as gonality and the kind of singularities, in the case where n=2n=2 and CC is non-Gorenstein, and in the case where n=3n=3, the scroll SS is smooth, and CC' is a local complete intersection inside SS. We also prove that a rational monomial curve with just one singular point lies on a surface scroll if and only if its gonality is at most 33, and that it lies on a threefold scroll if and only if its gonality is at most 44.
