Gonality for stable curves and their maps with a smooth curve as their target

Edoardo Ballico (2009)

Open Mathematics

Similarity:

Here we study the deformation theory of some maps f: X → ℙr , r = 1, 2, where X is a nodal curve and f|T is not constant for every irreducible component T of X. For r = 1 we show that the “stratification by gonality” for any subset of [...] with fixed topological type behaves like the stratification by gonality of M g.

On linearly normal strange curves

Edoardo Ballico (1993)

Atti della Accademia Nazionale dei Lincei. Classe di Scienze Fisiche, Matematiche e Naturali. Rendiconti Lincei. Matematica e Applicazioni

Similarity:

Here we prove a numerical bound implying that, except for smooth plane conics in characteristic 2, no complete linear system maps birationally a smooth curve into a projective space with a strange curve as image.
