The classical Brill-Noether theorems count the dimension of the family of maps from a general curve of genus g to non-degenerate curves of degree d in r-dimensional projective space. These theorems can be extended to include ramification…
We generalize Bertram's work on rank two vector bundles to an irreducible projective nodal curve C. We use extensions of a line bundle L by O_C and the associated `forgetful' map to study a compactification of the moduli space of…
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…
Brill-Noether theory of curves has played a crucial role in the study of curves and their moduli since the 19th century, and has been extensively studied by several authors. Clifford's theorem provides a starting point in determining the…
Let $C$ be a curve of genus $g$. A fundamental problem in the theory of algebraic curves is to understand maps $C \to \mathbb{P}^r$ of specified degree $d$. When $C$ is general, the moduli space of such maps is well-understood by the main…
We prove that the projectivized strata of differentials are not contained in pointed Brill-Noether divisors, with only a few exceptions. For a generic element in a stratum of differentials, we show that many of the associated pointed…
We compute the Euler characteristic of the structure sheaf of the Brill-Noether locus of linear series with special vanishing at up to two marked points. When the Brill-Noether number $\rho$ is zero, we recover the Castelnuovo formula for…
We briefly survey recent results related to linear series on curves that are general in various moduli spaces, highlighting the interplay between algebraic geometry on a general curve and the combinatorics of its degenerations.…
We describe applications of Koszul cohomology to the Brill-Noether theory of rank 2 vector bundles. Among other things, we show that in every genus g>10, there exist curves invalidating Mercat's Conjecture for rank 2 bundles. On the other…
We construct curves carrying certain special linear series and not others, showing many non-containments between Brill-Noether loci in the moduli space of curves. In particular, we prove the Maximal Brill-Noether Loci conjecture in full…
In this paper we construct new examples of stable bundles of rank 2 of small degree with 4 sections on a smooth irreducible curve of maximal Clifford index. The corresponding Brill-Noether loci have negative expected dimension of…
In this paper, we consider higher rank Brill-Noether theory for smooth curves of genus 5, obtaining new upper bounds for non-emptiness of Brill-Noether loci and many new examples.
Our purpose in this paper is to construct new examples of twisted Brill-Noether loci on curves of genus $g\ge2$. Many of these examples have negative expected dimension. We deduce also the existence of a new region in the Brill-Noether map,…
Using the techniques of Bayer--Macr\`i, we determine the walls in the movable cone of the Mukai system of rank two for a general K3 surface $S$ of genus two. We study the (essentially unique) birational map to $S^{[5]}$ and decompose it…
We establish two-pointed Prym-Brill-Noether loci with special vanishing at two points, and determine their K-theory classes when the dimensions are as expected. The classes are derived by the applications of a formula for the K-theory of…
In this article we study Brill-Noether loci of moduli space of stable bundles over smooth surfaces. We define Petri map as an analogy with the case of curves. We show the non-emptiness of certain Brill-Noether loci over very general quintic…
We continue previous works by various authors and study the birational geometry of moduli spaces of stable rank-two vector bundles on surfaces with Kodaira dimension $-\infty$. To this end, we express vector bundles as natural extensions,…
Consider the scheme B_{2,L}^k of stable vector bundles of rank two and fixed determinant L which have at least k sections. Under suitable numerical conditions and for generic L, we show the existence of a component of the expected dimension…
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…
The simplest example of an ind-Grassmannian is the infinite projective space $\mathbf P^\infty$. The Barth-Van de Ven-Tyurin (BVT) Theorem, proved more than 30 years ago \cite{BV}, \cite{T}, \cite{Sa} (see also a recent proof by A.…
