A result of Green and Griffiths states that for the generic curve $C$ over $\mathbb{C}$ of genus $g \geq 4$ with a canonical divisor $K$, its Faber--Pandharipande 0-cycle $K\times K-(2g-2)K_\Delta$ on $C\times C$ is nontorsion in the Chow…

We consider the generic Green conjecture on syzygies of a canonical curve, and particularly the following reformulation thereof: {\it For a smooth projective curve $C$ of genus $g$ in characteristic 0, the condition ${\rm Cliff} C>l$ is…

Fix a smooth, projective, geometrically integral curve $C$ of genus $g \geq 2$ over a characteristic zero field. We prove that the Ceresa cycle $\mathrm{Cer}(\widetilde{C})$ of a very general ramified cover $\widetilde{C}$ of $C$ is…

We prove the Green conjecture for generic curves of odd genus. That is we prove the vanishing $K_{k,1}(X,K_X)=0$ for $X$ generic of genus $2k+1$. The curves we consider are smooth curves $X$ on a K3 surface whose Picard group has rank 2.…

We verify Green's conjecture for a generic $k$-gonal curve of genus $g$, for $g\geq k(k-1)/2$.

Let $k$ be a field. Let $X/k$ be a stable curve whose geometric irreducible components are smooth rational curves. Taking Stein factorization of its normalization, we get a conic. We show the conic is non-split in certain cases. As an…

Green's Conjecture states the following : syzygies of the canonical model of a curve are simple up to the p^th stage if and only if the Clifford index of C is greater than p. We prove that the generic curve of genus g satisfies Green's…

We show that the Levine-Weibel Chow group of 0-cycles $\CH^d(A)$ of a reduced affine algebra $A$ of dimension $d \ge 2$ over an algebraically closed field is torsion-free. Among several applications, it implies an affirmative solution to an…

We prove that the Griffiths group of 3-cycles homologous to zero modulo algebraic equivalence, on a generic hypersurfaces of dimension 7 and degree 3 is not finitely generated, even when tensored with Q. Using this and a result of Nori, we…

Let $C$ be a hyperelliptic curve of genus $g>1$ over an algebraically closed field $K$ of characteristic zero and $O$ one of the $(2g+2)$ Weierstrass points in $C(K)$. Let $J$ be the jacobian of $C$, which is a $g$-dimensional abelian…

We give a cycle-theoretic proof of the Gross-Zagier conjecture in weight four for several modular curves of genus zero.

Given a generic curve of genus $g\geqslant4$ and a smooth point $L\in W_{g-1}^{1}(C)$, whose linear system is base-point free, we consider the Abel-Jacobi normal function associated to $L^{\otimes 2}\otimes \omega_{C}^{-1}$, when $(C,L)$…

We study the Abel-Jacobi image of the Ceresa cycle $W_{k, e}-W_{k, e}^-$, where $W_{k, e}$ is the image of the $k$th symmetric product of a curve $X$ with a base point $e$ on its Jacobian variety. For certain Fermat quotient curves of genus…

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 Ceresa cycle is a canonical algebraic $1$-cycle on the Jacobian of an algebraic curve. We construct an algorithm which, given a curve over a number field, often provides a certificate that the Ceresa cycle is non-torsion, without…

We prove two statements concerning the linear strand of the minimal free resolution of a curve of fixed gonality. Firstly, we show that a general curve C of genus g of non-maximal gonality k\leq (g+1)/2 satisfies Schreyer's Conjecture, that…

The Ceresa cycle is an algebraic 1-cycle on the Jacobian of an algebraic curve. Although it is homologically trivial, Ceresa famously proved that for a very general complex curve of genus at least 3, it is non-trivial in the Chow group. In…

We study the syzygies of canonical curves of genus $g\geq 3$ over an algebraically closed field $\mathbb{F}$ of characteristic $p>0$. We provide a new proof of generic Green's Conjecture for $p\geq\frac{g+4}{2}$. Using the techniques from…

Associated to an algebraic curve $X$, there are two canonically constructed homologically trivial algebraic $1$-cycles, the Ceresa cycle in the Jacobian of $X$, and the Gross-Kudla-Schoen modified diagonal cycle in the triple product $X…
