We complete the remaining cases of the conjecture predicting existence of infinitely many rational curves on K3 surfaces in characteristic zero, prove almost all cases in positive characteristic and improve the proofs of the previously…
The present paper is related to a conjecture made by Green and Lazarsfeld concerning 1-linear syzygies of curves embedded by complete linear systems of sufficiently large degrees. Given a smooth, irreducible, complex, projective curve $X$,…
The notion of constant cycle curves on K3 surfaces is introduced. These are curves that do not contribute to the Chow group of the ambient K3 surface. Rational curves are the most prominent examples. We show that constant cycle curves…
We survey three results on syzygies of curves beyond Green's conjecture, with a particular emphasis on drawing connections between the study of syzygies and other topics in moduli theory.
In a first part of this paper, we prove constancy of the canonical graded Betti table among the smooth curves in linear systems on Gorenstein weak Fano toric surfaces. In a second part, we show that Green's canonical syzygy conjecture holds…
We discuss recent progress on syzygies of curves, including proofs of Green's and Gonality Conjectures as well as applications of Koszul cycles to the study of the birational geometry of various moduli spaces of curves. We prove a number of…
This paper studies curves on quartic K3 surfaces, or more generally K3 surfaces which are complete intersection in weighted projective spaces. A folklore conjecture concerning rational curves on K3 surfaces states that all K3 surfaces…
The Prym-Green conjecture predicts that the resolution of a general level p paracanonical curve of genus g is natural. Using decomposable ruled surfaces over an elliptic curve, we provide a complete solution (that is, for all levels) to…
We use Green's canonical syzygy conjecture for generic curves to prove that the Green-Lazarsfeld gonality conjecture holds for generic curves of genus g, and gonality d, if $g/3<d<[g/2]+2$.
The gonality conjecture predicts that the gonality of a curve can be read off Koszul cohomology of line bundles of sufficiently large degree. We verify this conjecture for generic curves of odd genus. The even-genus case was previously…
We give a description of the category of ordinary K3 surfaces over a finite field in terms of linear algebra data over Z. This gives an analogue for K3 surfaces of Deligne's description of the category of ordinary abelian varieties over a…
We prove the Geometric Syzygy Conjecture for generic canonical curves of even genus. This result extends Green's classical result on the generation of the ideal of a canonical curve by rank four quadrics to the highest linear syzygy group.
The main theorem of "S. J. Kov\'acs: The cone of curves of a K3 surface, Math. Ann. 300 (1994), no. 4, 681-691" is proved in arbitrary characteristic. The proof is essentially the same as in the original paper where it was stated only over…
This is a survey paper on recent work on syzygies of algebraic varieties. We discuss the gonality conjecture on weight-one syzygies of algebraic curves, syzygies of secant varieties of algebraic curves, syzygies of tangent developable…
We investigate the universal Severi variety of rational curves on K3 surfaces, which parametrises irreducible rational curves in a fixed class on varying K3 surfaces of fixed genus. We investigate the conjecuted irreducibility of this space…
Based on computeralgebra experiments we formulate a refined version of Green's conjecture and a conjecture of Schicho-Schreyer-Weimann which conjecturally also holds in positive characteristic. The experiments are done by using our…
Given a K3 surface $X$ over a number field $K$ with potentially good reduction everywhere, we prove that the set of primes of $K$ where the geometric Picard rank jumps is infinite. As a corollary, we prove that either $X_{\overline{K}}$ has…
Gross, Kohnen and Zagier proved an averaged version of the algebraicity conjecture for special values of higher Green's functions on modular curves. In this work, we study an analogous problem for special values of Green's functions on…
We verify Green's conjecture for a generic $k$-gonal curve of genus $g$, for $g\geq k(k-1)/2$.
In this paper we compute the gonality and the dimension of the Brill-Noether loci $W^1_d(C)$ for curves in a non primitive linear system of a simple abelian surface, adapting vector bundles techniques \`a la Lazarsfeld originally introduced…
