Higher Gaussian maps for special classes of curves

From MaRDI portal





The authors study higher Gaussian (or Wahl) maps for the canonical bundle of certain smooth projective curves. More precisely, they determine the rank of higher Gaussian maps of the canonical bundle for plane curves, for curves contained in certain linear systems in a surface given by a product of two curves and for curves contained in a sufficiently ample line bundle on an Enriques surface.\N\NThe study of higher Wahl maps has been applied to the study of the local geometry of the Torelli locus inside the moduli space of principally polarized abelian varieties and it has shown that there is a relation between the second fundamental form of the Torelli morphism and higher even Wahl maps.
