For a general $k$-gonal curve $C$ with a morphism $f: C \rightarrow \mathbb{P}^1$ of degree $k$, we consider the refinement of the Brill-Noether schemes $W^r_d(C)$ by means of the Brill-Noether degeneracy schemes…

The present paper deals with some characterizations of rectifying and osculating curves on a smooth surface with respect to the reference frame $\{\vec{T},\ \vec{N},\ \vec{T}\times\vec{N}\}$. We have computed the components of position…

In this paper we study the Brill Noether locus of rank 2, (semi)stable vector bundles with at least two sections and of suitable degrees on a general $\nu$-gonal curve. We classify its reduced components whose dimensions are at least the…

The symplectic Brill--Noether locus ${\mathcal S}_{2n, K}^k$ associated to a curve $C$ parametrises stable rank $2n$ bundles over $C$ with at least $k$ sections and which carry a nondegenerate skewsymmetric bilinear form with values in the…

The Tait-Kneser theorem, first demonstrated by Peter G. Tait in 1896, states that the osculating circles along a plane curve with monotone non-vanishing curvature are pairwise disjoint and nested. This note contains a proof of this theorem…

Let $C$ be an integral and projective curve; and let $C'$ be its canonical model. We study the relation between the gonality of $C$ and the dimension of a rational normal scroll $S$ where $C'$ can lie on. We are mainly interested in the…

This note is the sequel to [A note on secondary K-theory. Algebra and Number Theory 10 (2016), no. 4, 887-906]. Making use of the recent theory of noncommutative motives, we prove that the canonical map from the derived Brauer group to the…

The aim of this paper is two--fold. We first strongly improve our previous main result Theorem 3.1 in Arxiv 1702.00918v3 12Feb2018 ("Brill-Noether loci of rank two vector bundles on a general $\nu$-gonal curve"), concerning classification…

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…

We give a general formula for generators of the NL-cone, the cone of effective linear combinations of irreducible components of Noether-Lefschetz divisors, on an orthogonal modular variety. We then fully describe the NL-cone and its…

Consider the moduli space $M_C(r; K_C)$ of stable rank r vector bundles on a curve $C$ with canonical determinant, and let $h$ be the maximum number of linearly independent global sections of these bundles. If $C$ embeds in a K3 surface $X$…

A refined Brill--Noether theory seeks to determine which linear series are admitted by a ``general'' curve in a particular Brill--Noether locus. However, as Brill--Noether loci are not irreducible in general, a coarse answer is given by the…
