Using limit linear series on chains of curves, we show that closures of certain Brill--Noether loci contain a product of pointed Brill--Noether loci of small codimension. As a result, we obtain new non-containments of Brill--Noether loci,…
A Brill-Noether degeneracy locus is closure in $\Pic^d(C)$ of the locus of line bundles with a specified rank function $r(a,b) = h^0(C,L(-ap-bq))$. These loci generalize the classical Brill-Noether loci $W^r_d(C)$ as well as Brill-Noether…
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…
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.…
Given a rational polyhedral space $X$ (a tropical cycle with boundary, in the sense of Mikhalkin--Rau), one can define tropical vector bundles on $X$ having real or tropical fibers. By restricting attention to bounded rational sections of…
This paper looks at the splitting problem for globally hyperbolic spacetimes with timelike Ricci curvature bounded below containing a (spacelike, acausal, future causally complete) hypersurface with mean curvature bounded from above. For…
Hassett's moduli spaces of weighted stable curves form an important class of alternate modular compactifications of the moduli space of smooth curves with marked points. In this article we define a tropical analogue of these moduli spaces…
Given two vector bundles E and F on a variety X and a morphism from Sym^2(E) to F, we compute the cohomology class of the locus in X where the kernel of this morphism contains a quadric of prescribed rank. Our formulas have many…
We show a few basic results about moduli spaces of semistable modules over Lie algebroids. The first result shows that such moduli spaces exist for relative projective morphisms of noetherian schemes, removing some earlier constraints. The…
We use Young tableaux to compute the dimension of $V^r$, the Prym-Brill-Noether locus of a folded chain of loops of any gonality. This tropical result yields a new upper bound on the dimensions of algebraic Prym-Brill-Noether loci.…
We present an algorithm for computing zero-dimensional tropical varieties using projections. Our main tools are fast unimodular transforms of lexicographical Gr\"obner bases. We prove that our algorithm requires only a polynomial number of…
The study of the moduli of covers of the projective line leads to the theory of Hurwitz varieties covering configuration varieties. Certain one-dimensional slices of these coverings are particularly interesting Belyi maps. We present…
We completely describe the Brill-Noether theory for curves in the primitive linear system on generic abelian surfaces, in the following sense: given integers $d$ and $r$, consider the variety $V^r_d(|H|)$ parametrizing curves $C$ in the…
We prove that the pullbacks of the virtual fundamental classes of the Brill-Noether loci under any Abel-Jacobi section lie in the tautological ring of the moduli space of stable curves. This resolves a conjecture of Pagani, Ricolfi and van…
We investigate the combinatorics of real double Hurwitz numbers with real positive branch points using the symmetric group. Our main focus is twofold. First, we prove correspondence theorems relating these numbers to counts of tropical real…
We study local splitting-type results for general Loday algebroids and use them to obtain a direct proof of the splitting theorem for Courant algebroids. We also discuss the linearization problem and establish a general linearization…
Counts of curves in $\mathbb{P}^1\times\mathbb{P}^1$ with fixed contact order with the toric boundary and satisfying point conditions can be determined with tropical methods by Mikhalkin. If we require that our curves intersect the zero-…
Brill-Noether theory studies the existence and deformations of curves in projective spaces; its basic object of study is $\mathcal{W}^r_{d,g}$, the moduli space of smooth genus $g$ curves with a choice of degree $d$ line bundle having at…
In this paper, we prove that the theta divisor of a smooth hyperelliptic curve has a natural and explicit embedded resolution of singularities using iterated blowups of Brill-Noether subvarieties. We also show that the Brill-Noether…
Analogue of classical Hurwitz numbers is defined in the work for regular coverings of surfaces with marked points by seamed surfaces. Class of surfaces includes surfaces of any genus and orientability, with or without boundaries; coverings…
