Let $C$ be a curve of genus $g$ and $L$ a $g^r_d$ on it and assume that we are in the range ${r+2\choose 2}>2d-g+1$. If $C$ and $L$ are chosen to be general then by the maximal rank conjecture (...

Curves and trisecant lines

We know that rational normal curves and elliptic normal curves have no trisecant lines. For the "next" case, this is still true. That is, a nondegenerate curve of degree $d\geq 5$ and genus $2$ in $\...

Polarizations on $M_{0,n}$ from Kapranov's quotient constructions

In Kapranov's marvelous paper Chow quotients of Grassmannian I, he proves that $\overline{M}_{0,n}$ is isomorphic to both the Hilbert quotient and Chow quotient $(\mathbb{P}^1)^n//\text{SL}_2$. These ...
