Feb 2, 2021 at 21:42 comment added Evgeny Shinder @user2831784: from the exact sequence of Picard groups for $C \setminus p \subset C$ one gets that if $K_{C \setminus p}$ is trivial, then $K = (2g-2)[p]$. This can not hold for general $p$, as if it does for points $p$ and $q$, then $[p] - [q]$ is $(2g-2)$-torsion in the Jacobian.
Feb 2, 2021 at 21:16 comment added user2831784 @abx Could you explain why the canonical bundle being nontrivial on $C$ globally implies that it is nontrivial on $C \smallsetminus p$ for a general $p$?

Feb 2, 2021 at 19:29 comment added abx A smooth curve embedded into $\mathbb{A}^2$ has trivial canonical bundle. Take any smooth projective curve $C$ of genus $\geq 2$ and general point $p\in C$, then $C\smallsetminus p$ is affine with non-trivial canonical bundle.
Feb 2, 2021 at 19:21 comment added GiveMeDivisorsPlease Oh wow, I feel stupid. Could you just give me an example of such a curve? Thanks so mcuh.
