Maximal Brill-Noether loci via K3 surfaces

Publication date 9 June 2022

Vector bundles on surfaces and higher-dimensional varieties, and their moduli (14J60) Divisors, linear systems, invertible sheaves (14C20) (K3) surfaces and Enriques surfaces (14J28) Special divisors on curves (gonality, Brill-Noether theory) (14H51) Families, moduli of curves (analytic) (14H15)

Abstract: We explain a strategy for distinguishing Brill-Noether loci in the moduli space of curves by studying the lifting of linear systems on curves in polarized K3 surfaces, which motivates a conjecture identifying the maximal Brill-Noether loci with respect to containment. Via an analysis of the stability of Lazarsfeld-Mukai bundles, we obtain new lifting results for linear systems of rank 3 which suffice to prove the maximal Brill-Noether loci conjecture in genus 9-19, 22, and 23.
