Interpolation for restricted tangent bundles of general curves

Abstract: Let (C, p_1, p_2, ldots, p_n) be a general marked curve of genus g, and q_1, q_2, ..., q_n in P^r be a general collection of points. We determine when there exists a nondegenerate degree d map f : C o P^r so that f(p_i) = q_i for all i. This is a consequence of our main theorem, which states that the restricted tangent bundle f^* T_{P^r} of a general curve of genus g, equipped with a general degree d map f to P^r, satisfies the property of interpolation (i.e. that for a general effective divisor D of any degree on C, either H^0(f^* T_{P^r}(-D)) = 0 or H^1(f^* T_{P^r}(-D)) = 0). We also prove an analogous theorem for the twist f^* T_{P^r}(-1).

Review text

Let \(C\) be a smooth projective curve and \(E\) a rank \(r\) vector bundle on \(C\). \(E\) is said to have the interpolation property if \(H^1(E) =0\) and for each \(x\in \mathbb {N}\) either \(H^0(E(-D)) =0\) or \(H^1(E(-D)) =0\), where \(D\) is a general degree \(x\) divisor on \(C\). The main results is that for all \(g, d, r\geq 2\) if \(C\) is a general curve of genus \(g\) and \(f: C\to \mathbb {P}^r\) is a general degree \(d\) non-degenerate map, the \(f^\ast (T\mathbb {P}^r)\) has the interpolation property, while the bundle \(f^\ast (T\mathbb {P}^r(-1))\) has the interpolation property if and only if \(d >gr\). The first (resp. second) result implies that if \(q_1,\dots ,q_n\) are general points of \(\mathbb {P}^n\) (resp. a hyperplane \(H\subset \mathbb P^n\)) there is a \((C,p_1,\dots ,p_n)\in M_{g,n}\) with \(f(p_i)=q_i\) for all \(i\) if and only if \((r+1)d-rg+r-rn \geq 0\) (resp. \((r+1)d-rg+r-rn \geq 0\) and \(d>rg\)).
