Let $\pi:\overline{\mathcal{M}}_{g,n+1}\to \overline{\mathcal{M}}_{g,n}$ be the map that forgets the last marked point and $\omega_\pi$ the relative cotangent line bundle (Here we are identifying $\ov …

For a line bundle $L$ on a curve $C$ the base locus of $L$, or equivalently the locus where the evaluation map $$H^0(L)\otimes \mathcal{O}_C\to L$$ fails to be surjective is a proper closed subset of …

Your feeling is actually correct if you replace the word "tangential" with "secant" in your question. More precisely, the secant variety of any irreducible non-degenerate curve in $\mathbb{P}^n$ is no …

Given a quadric $Q\subseteq\mathbb{P}^r$ and points $p_1,\dots,p_{r+2}\in Q$ in linear general position, a naive dimension count suggests that one should expect finitely many rational normal curves th …

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 sequenc …

A special case of maximal rank conjecture states that for a general curve $C$ and general points $p_1,\dots ,p_n\in C$ the map $$Sym^2H^0(K_C-p_1-\dots -p_n)\to H^0(K_C^{\otimes 2}-2p_1-\dots -2p_n)$$ …

Let $P=\{1,\dots,n\}$ and $S\subseteq P$. The map $$\nu:\overline{\mathcal{M}}_{i,S\cup\{q\}}\to \overline{\mathcal{M}}_{g,P},$$ which attaches to a curve in the domain a pointed genus $g-i$ curve $[D …

I could not decide if I should post this question in MO or Mathstackexchange, so feel free to downvote it if you think it does not belong here. I will delete my post and post it in MathSE in that case …

This is just a feeling that I had and I am curious if it is totally wrong or true to some extent. Let $X\subseteq \mathbb{P}^r$ be an integral hypersurface of degree $r-1$, which is not a cone. In th …

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 $\m …

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 (which …
