The geometry of divisors on algebraic curves has been studied extensively over the years. The foundational results of this Brill-Noether theory imply that on a general curve, the spaces parametrizing linear series (of fixed degree and…

The classical Brill-Noether theorem states that a map from a general curve to a projective space deforms in a family of expected dimension as long as its image does not lie in any hyperplane. In this note, we observe, as a direct…

In this paper, we study the $(k,l)$-stable vector bundles over non-singular projective curve $X$ of genus $g\geq 2,$ its relation with stability and Segre invariants. For rank 2 and 3, we give an explicit description and relation of…

We extend a result by Fulton-Harris-Lazarsfeld in Brill-Noehter theory of line bundles and, as well, a result by Aprod-Sernesi in theory of Secant Loci, to the Brill-Noehter locus of stable bundles inside the moduli space of higher rank…

We develop a novel approach to the Brill-Noether theory of curves endowed with a degree k cover of the projective line via Bridgeland stability conditions on elliptic K3 surfaces. We first develop the Brill-Noether theory on elliptic K3…

Let $X$ be a smooth projective curve of genus $g$ over the field $\mathbb{C}$. Let $M_{X}(2,L)$ denote the moduli space of stable rank $2$ vector bundles on $X$ with fixed determinant $L$ of degree $2g-1$. Consider the Brill-Noether…

Let U(r) be the moduli space of rank r vector bundles with trivial determinant on a smooth curve of genus 2. The map theta_r: U(r) -> |r Theta|, which associates to a general bundle its theta divisor, is generically finite. In this paper we…

In this (mostly) survey article, we give a synopsis of a number of results relating to Brill--Noether theory on curves and metric graphs, together with some speculations about the behavior of one-dimensional linear series on a class of…

Severi varieties and Brill-Noether theory of curves on K3 surfaces are well understood. Yet, quite little is known for curves on abelian surfaces. Given a general abelian surface $S$ with polarization $L$ of type $(1,n)$, we prove…

Generalizing the Martens theorem for line bundles over a curve $C$, we obtain upper bounds on the dimension of the Brill--Noether locus $B^k_{n, d}$ parametrizing stable bundles of rank $n \ge 2$ and degree $d$ over $C$ with at least $k$…

We show that a general curve in an explicit class of what we call Du Val pointed curves satisfies the Brill-Noether Theorem for pointed curves. Furthermore, we prove that a generic pencil of Du Val pointed curves is disjoint from all…

The aim of this note is to find upper bounds on the dimension of Brill-Noether locus' inside the moduli space of rank two vector bundles on a smooth algebraic curve. We deduce some consequences of these bounds.

A Laurent polynomial $f$ in two variables naturally describes a projective curve $C(f)$ on a toric surface. We show that if $C(f)$ is a smooth curve of genus at least 7, then $C(f)$ is not Brill-Noether general. To accomplish this, we…
