On a smooth curve $C$, when is $K_C \sim_\mathbb{Q} (2g-2)P$?
Let $C$ be a smooth curve of genus $g$ over $\mathbb{C}$. I am interested in the following property:
There exists a point $P \in C$ such that $K_C \sim_\mathbb{Q} (2g-2)P$. Equivalently, $K_C - (2g-2)...

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 $\text{Cl}(X)$ ...

divisors on $\overline{\mathcal{M}}_{g,n}$ that are trivial on certain $F$-curves
Inside the moduli space of curves $\overline{\mathcal{M}}_{g,n}$ one can distinguish two classes of $F$-curves isomorphic to $\mathbb{P}^1$: those of type $\overline{\mathcal{M}}_{0,4}$, and those of ...
