Hurwitz spaces of genus 2 covers of an elliptic curve.

Ernst Kani (2003)

Collectanea Mathematica

Similarity:

Let E be an elliptic curve over a field K of characteristic not equal to 2 and let N > 1 be an integer prime to char(K). The purpose of this paper is to construct the (two-dimensional) Hurwitz moduli space H (E/K,N,2) which classifies genus 2 covers of E of degree N and to show that it is closely related to the modular curve X(N) which parametrizes elliptic curves with level-N-structure. More precisely, we introduce the notion of a normalized genus 2 cover of E/K and show that...

Curves with only triple ramification

Stefan Schröer (2003)

Annales de l'Institut Fourier

Similarity:

We show that the set of smooth curves of genus g ≥ 0 admitting a branched covering X → ℙ 1 with only triple ramification points is of dimension at least max ( 2 g - 3 , g ) . In characteristic two, such curves have tame rational functions and an analog of Belyi’s Theorem applies to them.

On the Brill-Noether theory for K3 surfaces

Maxim Leyenson (2012)

Open Mathematics

Similarity:

Let (S, H) be a polarized K3 surface. We define Brill-Noether filtration on moduli spaces of vector bundles on S. Assume that (c 1(E), H) > 0 for a sheaf E in the moduli space. We give a formula for the expected dimension of the Brill-Noether subschemes. Following the classical theory for curves, we give a notion of Brill-Noether generic K3 surfaces. Studying correspondences between moduli spaces of coherent sheaves of different ranks on S, we prove our main theorem: polarized K3...
