Some examples of rank-2 Brill-Noether loci (Q1695727)

Given \(C\) a general curve of genus \(g\) over the complex numbers, \(M(n,d)\) the moduli space of stable bundles of rank \(n\) and degree \(d\) on \(C\) define \(B(n,d,k) : = (E\in M(n,d),~ h^0(E) \geq k )\) with \(B(2, K_C,k)\) the subvariety of \(B(2, 2g-2, k)\), of bundles of determinant \(K_C\), the canonical bundle of \(C\). In the main theorem, the author shows that for \(C\) of genus \(g \)= \(\lambda\)\((2\lambda-1)\), \(\lambda\)\(\geq\)2, \(B(2,K_C,2\lambda)\) has pure dimension \(4\lambda(\lambda-1)-3\) and \(B(2,2g-2,2\lambda)\) has at least one component of dimension \(4\lambda(\lambda-1)-3\) not contained in \(B(2, K_C, 2\lambda)\). He then applies his result to the case of genus \(g = 6\). Furthermore he obtains some results computing rank-2 Clifford indices. [\textit{B. Bakker} and \textit{G.
