Abstract: Trigonal curves provide an example of Brill-Noether special curves. Theorem 1.3 of [9] characterizes the Brill-Noether theory of general trigonal curves and the refined stratification by Brill-Noether splitting loci, which parametrize line bundles whose push forward to $mathbb{P}^1$ has a specified splitting type. This note describes the refined stratification for all trigonal curves. Given the Maroni invariant of a trigonal curve, we determine the dimensions of all Brill-Noether splitting loci and describe their irreducible components. When the dimension is positive, these loci are connected, and if furthermore the Maroni invariant is $0$ or $1$, they are irreducible.

Review text

In this paper, as a complementary work to [\textit{H. Larson}, Invent. Math. 224, No. 3, 767--790 (2021; Zbl 1477.14014)] which describes the Brill-Noether variety for a \textit{general} \(k\)-gonal curve, the author provides an explicit description of the components of the Brill-Noether variety for \textit{all} trigonal curves based on giving the Maroni invariant of the curve.
