Resolutions of general canonical curves on rational normal scrolls

Abstract: Let

C s u b s e t m a t h b b P^{g - 1}

be a general curve of genus

g

and let

k

be a positive integer such that the Brill-Noether number

h o (g, k, 1) g e q 0

and

g > k + 1

. The aim of this short note is to study the relative canonical resolution of

C

on a rational normal scroll swept out by a

g_{k}^{1} = | L |

with

L i n W_{k}^{1} (C)

general. We show that the bundle of quadrics appearing in the relative canonical resolution is unbalanced if and only if

h o > 0

and

(k - h o - f r a c 72)^{2} - 2 k + f r a c 234 > 0

.
