In this paper we determine the number of general points through which a Brill--Noether curve of fixed degree and genus in any projective space can be passed.

Let (S,H) be a polarized K3 surface, $E$ be a coherent sheaf on S and W be a linear subspace in the space of global sections H^0(S,E). If we are lucky, there is an exact sequence 0 -> W tensor O -> E -> E' -> 0, which gives a correspondence…

The aim of this note is to find upper bounds on the dimension of Brill-Noether locus' inside the moduli space of rank two vector bundles on a smooth algebraic curve. We deduce some consequences of these bounds.

Let $X$ be a smooth projective variety of dimension $n$ and let $H$ be an ample line bundle on $X$. Let $M_{X,H}(r;c_1, ..., c_{s})$ be the moduli space of $H$-stable vector bundles $E$ on $X$ of rank $r$ and Chern classes $c_i(E)=c_i$ for…

Severi varieties and Brill-Noether theory of curves on K3 surfaces are well understood. Yet, quite little is known for curves on abelian surfaces. Given a general abelian surface $S$ with polarization $L$ of type $(1,n)$, we prove…

We study the variation of linear sections of hypersurfaces in $\mathbb{P}^n$. We completely classify all plane curves, necessarily singular, whose line sections do not vary maximally in moduli. In higher dimensions, we prove that the family…

The interplay between algebro-geometric and combinatorial Brill-Noether theory is studied. The Brill-Noether variety of a graph shown to be non-empty if the Brill-Noether number is non-negative, as a consequence of the analogous fact for…

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…

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,…

This paper replaces the previous longer version and focuses on the specialty $2$ case. More precisely, in this paper we address the Brill-Noether theory for rank-two, degree $d$ stable bundles of speciality $2$ on a general $\nu$-gonal…

We prove the irreducibility of the moduli space of rank 2 semistable torsion free sheaves (with a generic polarization and any value of c_2) on a K3 or a del Pezzo surface. In the case of a K3 surface, we need to prove a result on the…

We introduce a notion of limit linear series for nodal curves which are not of compact type. We give a construction of a moduli space of limit linear series, which works also in smoothing families, and we prove a corresponding…

We study the Brill-Noether theory of curves on K3 surfaces that are Hodge theoretically associated to cubic fourfolds of discriminant 14. We prove that any smooth curve in the polarization class has maximal Clifford index and deduce that a…

Lazarsfeld proved Brill--Noether generality of any smooth curve in the linear system $|H|$ where $(X,H)$ is a polarized K3 surface with $\mathrm{Pic}(X) = \mathbb{Z}\cdot H$. Mukai introduced the notion of Brill--Noether generality for…

In this paper, we describe the Brill--Noether theory of a general smooth plane curve and a general curve $C$ on a Hirzebruch surface of fixed class. It is natural to study the line bundles on such curves according to the splitting type of…

The moduli space $\mathcal{G}^r_{g,d} \to \mathcal{M}_g$ parameterizing algebraic curves with a linear series of degree $d$ and rank $r$ has expected relative dimension $\rho = g - (r+1)(g-d+r)$. Classical Brill-Noether theory concerns the…

We give a different formulation for describing maximal surfaces in Lorentz-Minkowski space, $\mathbb{L}^3$, using the identification of $\mathbb L^3$ with $\mathbb C\times \mathbb R$. Further we give a different proof for the singular…

We give a myriad of examples of extremal divisors, rigid curves, and birational morphisms with unexpected properties for the Grothendieck--Knudsen moduli space $\bar M_{0,n}$ of stable rational curves. The basic tool is an isomorphism…

We study Brill-Noether existence on a finite graph using methods from polyhedral geometry and lattices. We start by formulating analogues of the Brill-Noether conjectures (both the existence and non-existence parts) for…

We prove that moduli spaces of semistable vector bundles of coprime rank and degree over a non-singular real projective curve are maximal real algebraic varieties if and only if the base curve itself is maximal. This provides a new family…
