Let C be a general curve of genus g, embedded in P^r via a general linear series of degree d. In this paper, we prove the Maximal Rank Conjecture, which determines the Hilbert function of C.

Let $X=X_1\cup \cdots \cup X_s\subset \mathbb {P}^n$, $n\ge 4$, be a general union of smooth non-special curves with $X_i$ of degree $d_i$ and genus $g_i$ and $d_i\ge \max \{2g_i-1,g_i+n\}$ if $g_i>0$. We prove that $X$ has maximal rank,…

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.…

We prove the following statement, which has been conjectured since 1985: There exists a constant $K$ such that for all natural numbers $d,g$ with $g\le Kd^{3/2}$ there exists an irreducible component of the Hilbert scheme of $\mathbb{P}^3$…

Let $C \subset \mathbb {P}^r$ a general embedding of prescribed degree of a general smooth curve with prescribed genus. Here we prove that either $h^0(\mathbb {P}^r,\mathcal {I}_C(2)) =0$ or $h^1(\mathbb {P}^r,\mathcal {I}_C(2)) =0$ (a…

We propose a new method, using deformation theory, to study the maximal rank conjecture. For line bundles of extremal degree, which can be viewed as the first case to test the conjecture, we prove that maximal rank conjecture holds by our…

We prove that the Strong Maximal Rank Conjecture holds for quadrics in $\mathbb{P}^3$ and we prove the existence of a component of the expected dimension in $\mathbb{P}^4$, as well as in a wide range of parameters $(g,d)$ in $\mathbb{P}^r$…

In this note, we give an overview of a new technique for studying Brill--Noether curves in projective space via degeneration. In particular, we give a roadmap to the proof of the Maximal Rank Conjecture.

We show that the linear map defined by multiplication with a general bi-homogeneous form between two bi-graduated pieces of the first cohomology of a nonsingular quadric in the projective space is of maximal rank. This is the first non…

We study the Hilbert function of a general union $X\subset \mathbb{P}^3$ of $x$ double lines and $y$ lines. In many cases (e.g. always for $x=2$ and $y\ge 3$ or for $x=3$ and $y\ge 2$ or for $x\ge 4$ and $y\ge \lceil(\binom{3x+4}{3}…

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 =…

We show that the Weierstrass points of the generic curve of genus $g$ over an algebraically closed field of characteristic 0 generate a group of maximal rank in the Jacobian.

We produce explicit elliptic curves over \Bbb F_p(t) whose Mordell-Weil groups have arbitrarily large rank. Our method is to prove the conjecture of Birch and Swinnerton-Dyer for these curves (or rather the Tate conjecture for related…

We describe applications of Koszul cohomology to the Brill-Noether theory of rank 2 vector bundles. Among other things, we show that in every genus g>10, there exist curves invalidating Mercat's Conjecture for rank 2 bundles. On the other…

For a given projective variety $X$, the high rank loci are the closures of the sets of points whose $X$-rank is higher than the generic one. We show examples of strict inclusion between two consecutive high rank loci. Our first example is…

We develop a new technique for studying ranks of multiplication maps for linear series via limit linear series and degenerations to chains of genus-1 curves. We use this approach to prove a purely elementary criterion for proving cases of…

We show that the group of conformal homeomorphisms of the boundary of a rank one symmetric space (except the hyperbolic plane) of noncompact type acts as a maximal convergence group. Moreover, we show that any family of uniformly…

Let $\mathscr{X} \rightarrow C$ be a non-isotrivial and generically ordinary family of K3 surfaces over a proper curve $C$ in characteristic $p \geq 5$. We prove that the geometric Picard rank jumps at infinitely many closed points of $C$.…

Building on recent work of the authors, we use degenerations to chains of elliptic curves to prove two cases of the Aprodu-Farkas strong maximal rank conjecture, in genus $22$ and $23$. This constitutes a major step forward in Farkas'…

Given n general points p_1, p_2,..., p_n \in P^r, it is natural to ask whether there is a curve of given degree d and genus g passing through them; by counting dimensions a natural conjecture is that such a curve exists if and only if \[n…
