A note on syzygies and normal generation for trigonal curves

Abstract: Let

C

be a trigonal curve of genus

g g e 5

and let

T

be the unique trigonal line bundle inducing a map

p i : C s t a c k r e l 3 : 1 l o n g r i g h t a r r o w m a t h b b P^{1}

. This note provides a short and easy proof of the normal generation for the residual line bundle

K_{C} o t i m e s T^{- 1}

for curves of genus

g g e 7

. Moreover, we compute the minimal free resolution of the embedded curve

C s u b s e t m a t h b b P (H^{0} (C, K_{C} o t i m e s T^{- n})^{*})

for the residual line bundle

K_{C} o t i m e s T^{- n}

for

n g e 1

and

g g e 3 n + 4

.
