Abstract

We develop analogues of Green's NpN_p-conditions for subvarieties of weighted projective space, and we prove that such NpN_p-conditions are satisfied for high degree embeddings of curves in weighted projective space. A key technical result links positivity with low degree (virtual) syzygies in wide generality, including cases where normal generation fails.
