Is the square of a special line bundle also special?
Suppose $C$ is a smooth projective curve over, say, $\mathbb{C}$. I'm interested in knowing whether the following is true.
Let $\mathcal{L} \in Pic^d(C)$ be a special line bundle, i.e. its $H^1 \neq 0$...

Semistable pure dimension one sheaves of rank 1 and degree 0 on a singular curve
We are working on a problem about semistable pure dimension one sheaves of rank $1$ and degree $0$ on a singular curve $C$ (for example, the Kodaira fiber of type $I_2$, i.e. $C=C_1\cup C_2$ where $...

Sections of vector bundles interpreted as sections of line bundles
Let $X$ be a smooth projective curve of genus $g$ over $\mathbb{C}$, $K_{X}$ be a cononical sheaf on $X$ and $\mathcal{E}$ be a locally free sheaf on $X$ s.t. $H^{0}(X,\mathcal{E}^{*})=\operatorname{...

Is a torsion free sheave of rank one on a reducible curve the pushforward of a line bundle on a normalization?
Let $X$ be a nodal curve, possibly reducible. Then can any torsion free sheaf of rank one on $X$ be expressed as $\pi_*(L)$, where $L$ is a line bundle on a partial normalization of $X$? This looks ...

Do line bundles with enough sections on surfaces have generic divisors which are irreducible?
Let $L$ be a line bundle on a smooth connected complete complex algebraic surface $X$. Assume that $L$ has enough sections i.e. that $H^0(L,X)$ has dimension $> 1$. A nonzero section $s$ of $L$ ...

Torsion line bundle on hyperelliptic curves and Weierstrass points
Let $C$ be an hyperelliptic curve of genus $g$ and let $f:C\rightarrow
\mathbb{P}^1$ be the corresponding 2 to 1 covering
ramified in $2g+2$ points.
Let $L$ be a line bundle on $C$ such that either $...

Twisting a line bundle with the zero section
Let $X$ be a smooth projective curve and $L$ be an invertible sheaf on $X$. Denote by $\mathbb{L}$ the line bundle associated to $L$, $\pi:\mathbb{L} \to X$ the natural morphism and $0_\pi$ the zero ...

Are two line bundles with the same ramification type necessarily isomorphic?
I have no motivation for the following problem, I am just curious if it is true or not. Here it is:
If $l_1$ and $l_2$ are two complete $g^r_d$'s on a smooth curve $C$ such that the vanishing ...

Could we extend any line bundle on the smooth part of a singular curve to a line bundle on the whole curve?
Let $X$ be a singular curve over an algebraic closed field $k$ with characteristic zero. Let $Z$ be the closed subset of singular points on $X$ and $U=X-Z$ be the smooth part, which is an open subset ...

Will (general points + small number of arbitrary points) impose independent condtions on plane curves?
It is well known that imposing vanishing at general points of $\mathbb P^2$ gives independent conditions on curves of degree $d$. Also, it is known that a small number ($\le d+1$) points always impose ...

Perfectness of the Jacobian of a curve
Let $C$ be a smooth projective curve over a field $K$ of characteristic $0$ (but not necessarily algebraically closed). Let $\mathcal{L}$ be a line bundle on $C$ of degree $0$. Fix an integer $r>1$....

Hopf lemma for line bundles on curves in algebraic geometry
In the paper http://arxiv.org/pdf/math/0110256v1.pdf Claire Voisin proves that all linear subspaces which lie inside of a (not too big) secant variety of a smooth projective curve must lie inside one ...

canonical model of a reducible curve
Let $C$ be a stable reducible curve. Is there a natural way to define it's canonical model (I guess via the dualizing sheaf)? And does somehow the dualizing sheaf restrict to the (probably twisted) ...

On the Clifford index of a curve
Let X be an algebraic curve and c be the Clifford index of X.
When c is small (e.g c=1), what is the classification of the line bundle who computes c?
