Vector bundles of rank 2 computing Clifford indices

Algebraic Geometry 2014-01-31 v3

Abstract

Clifford indices of vector bundles on algebraic curves were introduced in a previous paper of the authors. In this paper we study bundles of rank 2 which compute these Clifford indices. This is of particular interest in the light of recently discovered counterexamples to a conjecture of Mercat.
