Special divisors on curves (gonality, Brill-Noether theory) (14H51)

Abstract: We describe a conjectural stratification of the Brill-Noether variety for general curves of fixed genus and gonality. As evidence for this conjecture, we show that this Brill-Noether variety has at least as many irreducible components as predicted by the conjecture, and that each of these components has the expected dimension. Our proof uses combinatorial and tropical techniques. Specifically, we analyze containment relations between the various strata of tropical Brill-Noether loci identified by Pflueger in his classification of special divisors on chains of loops.

Review text

In this article, the components of the Brill-Noether variety \(W^r_d(C)\) of a general \(k\)-gonal curve \(C\), parametrizing degree \(d\) line bundles of rank at least \(r\), are conjecturally described. This work is in parallel with [\textit{H. Larson}, Invent. Math. 224, No. 3, 767--790 (2021; Zbl 1477.14014)], where independent proofs of the proposed conjectures in this article, are presented. Based on the theory of special divisors on the chain of loops and the splitting type of the vector bundles on the projective line, the authors provide a stratification of the Brill-Noether variety into maximal tori with respect to containment where these maximal tori are characterized by the scrollar tableaux, or equivalently by maximal splitting types.
