Global sections of canonical line bundle on projective curve with everywhere vanishing derivative

Let $k$ be an algebraically closed field of positive characteristic $p$, $C$ be a curve (projective, non-singular, connected) of genus $g\geq 2$ over $k$ and $\omega \in H^0(C, \Omega_C)$ be a regular ...

Detecting non-principal Weil divisors on normal varieties using curves

Let $X$ be a normal projective variety over an algebraically closed field $k$. Given any morphism $f:Y\to X$, there is a pullback homomorphism $f^*:\text{Cl}(X)\to\text{Cl}(Y)$, where $\text{Cl}(X)$ ...

On relating $l(A), l(B)$ and $l(A+B)$ for Weil divisors on a smooth projective curve where one of the divisors is effective

Let $X$ be a smooth projective curve over an Algebraically closed field $k$. Let $k(X)$ denote its function field. If $A, B$ are Weil divisors on $X$ such that $A$ is effective (i.e. $A\ge 0$) , then ...
