Genera of Brill-Noether curves and staircase paths in Young tableaux

Abstract: Abstract. In this paper, we compute the genus of the variety of linear series of rank r and degree d on a general curve of genus g, with ramification at least α and β at two given points, when that variety is 1-dimensional. Our proof uses degenerations and limit linear series along with an analysis of random staircase paths in Young tableaux, and produces an explicit scheme-theoretic description of the limit linear series of fixed rank and degree on a generic chain of elliptic curves when that scheme is itself… Show more

“…It was first discovered in the context of the algebraic geometry of curves: establishing that the distributive lattice of order ideals of the rectangle is CDE was the key combinatorial result that Chan, López Martín, Pflueger, and Teixidor i Bigas [13] needed to reprove a product formula for the genus of one-dimensional Brill-Noether loci. Later, Chan, Haddadan, Hopkins, and Moci [12] generalized the work of [13] by introducing the "toggle perspective." The toggle perspective, based on the notion of "toggling" elements into and out of order ideals, is the principal tool we have for establishing that posets are CDE.…”

“…Thus, we are in particular giving a new proof of the Gieseker-Petri theorem (in characteristic 0). As an immediate consequence of Theorem 1.4, the twice-pointed Brill-Noether curves studied in [4] as well as twice-pointed Brill-Noether surfaces [1,6] are smooth. The singular locus of G r d (X, (P, a • ), (Q, b • )) can also be described using hook removals in Young diagrams; see Remark 3.4.…”

“…We assume that the square just to the right of the first row and the square just below the first column are also outside corners. It should be noticed that the outside corners of µ are also called outer boxes of µ, see Stanley The notion of left turns and right turns of a lattice path in λ was introduced by Chan, López Martín, Pflueger and Teixidor i Bigas [2] for the computation of the genera of the Brill-Noether curves. To be more specific, a left turn of a lattice path in λ is an east step immediately followed by a north step, and a right turn is a north step immediately followed by an east step with the additional requirement that these two consecutive steps are borders of a square of λ.…”
