We study coherent systems of type $(n,d,n+1)$ on a Petri curve $X$ of genus $g\ge2$. We describe the geometry of the moduli space of such coherent systems for large values of the parameter $\alpha$. We determine the top critical value of…

In this paper, we prove that the normal bundle of a general Brill-Noether space curve of degree $d$ and genus $g \geq 2$ is stable if and only if $(d,g) \not\in \{ (5,2), (6,4) \}$. When $g\leq1$ and the characteristic of the ground field…

Let C be a smooth projective curve over the field of the complex numbers. We consider Brill-Noether loci over the moduli of maps from C to the Grassmannian G(m,n) and the corresponding Quot schemes of quotients of a trivial vector bundle on…

We produce open subsets of the moduli space of metric graphs without separating edges where the dimensions of Brill-Noether loci are larger than the corresponding Brill-Noether numbers. These graphs also have minimal rank determining sets…

Let $G$ be a finite graph of genus $g$. Let $d$ and $r$ be non-negative integers such that the Brill-Noether number is non-negative. It is known that for some $k$ sufficiently large, the $k$-th homothetic refinement $G^{(k)}$ of $G$ admits…

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,…

In this paper, we study maps from reducible curves $f : C \cup_\Gamma D \to \mathbb{P}^r$. We restrict our attention to two cases: first, when $f|_D$ factors through a hyperplane $H$ and $f|_C$ is transverse to $H$; and second, when $r =…

Given the Prym variety of an \'etale double cover one can define analogues of the classical Brill-Noether loci on Jacobians of curves. Recent work by Lahoz and Naranjo shows that the Brill-Noether locus $V^2$ completely determines the…

Let $C$ be a smooth plane curve of degree $d$ defined over an algebraically closed field $k$. A base point free complete very special linear system $g^r_n$ on $C$ is trivial if there exists an integer $m\ge 0$ and an effective divisor $E$…

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 study the restriction of Brill-Noether loci to the gonality stratification of the moduli space of curves of fixed genus. As an application, we give new proofs that Brill-Noether loci with $\rho=-1$ have distinct support, and for fixed…

In the present paper we investigate conditions for the non-existence of a limit linear series on a curve of compact type such that two smooth curves are bridged by a chain of two elliptic curves. Combining this work with results on the…

Understanding when an abstract complex curve of given genus comes equipped with a map of fixed degree to a projective space of fixed dimension is a foundational question; and Brill--Noether theory addresses this question via linear series,…

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…
