Bounding the number of graph refinements for Brill-Noether existence

Karl Christ, Qixiao Ma

Let be a finite graph of genus . Let and be non-negative integers such that the Brill-Noether number is non-negative. It is known that for some sufficiently larg…

A Clifford inequality for semistable curves

Karl Christ

Let be a semistable curve and a line bundle whose multidegree is uniform, i.e., in the range between those of the structure sheaf and the dualizing sheaf of . We establi…

Degeneration of curves on some polarized toric surfaces

Karl Christ, Xiang He, Ilya Tyomkin

We address the following question: Given a polarized toric surface (S,L), and a general integral curve C of geometric genus g in the linear system |L|, do there exist degenerations…

On the rank of general linear series on stable curves

Karl Christ

We study the dimension of loci of special line bundles on stable curves and for a fixed semistable multidegree. In case of total degree , we characterize when the effect…

On the Severi problem in arbitrary characteristic

Karl Christ, Xiang He, Ilya Tyomkin

In this paper, we show that Severi varieties parameterizing irreducible reduced planar curves of a given degree and geometric genus are either empty or irreducible in any character…

Compactified Jacobians as Mumford models

Karl Christ, Sam Payne, Tif Shen

We show that relative compactified Jacobians of one-parameter smoothings of a nodal curve of genus g are Mumford models of the generic fiber. Each such model is given by an admissi…
