We take up the study of the Brill-Noether loci W r ( L , X ) : = { η Pic 0 ( X ) | h 0 ( L η ) r + 1 } , where X is a smooth projective variety of dimension > 1 , L Pic ( X ) , and r 0 is an integer. By studying the infinitesimal structure of these loci and the Petri map (defined in analogy with the case of curves), we obtain lower bounds for h 0 ( K D ) , where D is a divisor that moves linearly on a smooth projective variety X of maximal Albanese dimension. In this way we sharpen the results of [Xi] and we generalize them to dimension > 2 . In the 2 -dimensional case we prove an existence theorem: we define a Brill-Noether number ρ ( C , r ) for a curve C on a smooth surface X of maximal Albanese dimension and we prove, under some mild additional assumptions, that if ρ ( C , r ) 0 then W r ( C , X ) is nonempty of dimension ρ ( C , r ) . Inequalities for the numerical invariants of curves that do not move linearly on a surface of maximal Albanese dimension are obtained as an application of the previous results.
