On the existence of supersingular curves of given genus.
A closed Riemann surface which is a 3-sheeted regular covering of the Riemann sphere is called cyclic trigonal, and such a covering is called a cyclic trigonal morphism. Accola showed that if the genus is greater or equal than 5 the trigonal morphism is unique. Costa-Izquierdo-Ying found a family of cyclic trigonal Riemann surfaces of genus 4 with two trigonal morphisms. In this work we show that this family is the Riemann sphere without three points. We also prove that the Hurwitz space of pairs...
We show that there is a large class of nonspecial effective divisors of relatively small degree on real algebraic curves having many real components i.e. on M-curves. We apply to 1. complete linear systems on M-curves containing divisors with entirely real support, and 2. morphisms of M-curves into P1.
Here we focus on the geometry of , the compactification of the universal Picard variety constructed by L. Caporaso. In particular, we show that the moduli space of spin curves constructed by M. Cornalba naturally injects into and we give generators and relations of the rational Picard group of , extending previous work by A. Kouvidakis.
Here we study the gonality of several projective curves which arise in a natural way (e.gċurves with maximal genus in , curves with given degree and genus for all possible , if and with large for arbitrary ).
We prove a recent conjecture of S. Lvovski concerning the periodicity behaviour of top Betti numbers of general finite subsets with large cardinality of an irreducible curve C ⊂ ℙⁿ.
We show that the Néron–Severi group of the Prym variety for a degree three unramified Galois covering of a hyperelliptic Riemann surface has a distinguished subgroup of rank three. For the general hyperelliptic curve, the algebra of Hodge cycles on the Prym variety is generated by this group of rank three.
