Non-surjective Gaussian maps for singular curves on K3 surfaces

Algebraic Geometry 2018-05-23 v2

Abstract

Let (S,L)(S,L) be a polarized K3 surface with Pic(S)=Z[L]\mathrm{Pic}(S) = \mathbb{Z}[L] and LL=2g2L\cdot L=2g-2, let CC be a nonsingular curve of genus g1g-1 and let f:CSf:C\to S be such that f(C)Lf(C) \in \vert L \vert. We prove that the Gaussian map ΦωC(T)\Phi_{\omega_C(-T)} is non-surjective, where TT is the degree two divisor over the singular point xx of f(C)f(C). This generalizes a result of Kemeny with an entirely different proof. It uses the very ampleness of CC on the blown-up surface S~\widetilde S of SS at xx and a theorem of L'vovski.
