Brill-Noether Generality of Binary Curves
Abstract
We show that the space of linear series of certain multi-degree (including the balanced ones) and rank r on a general binary curve has the expected dimension if nonempty. This generalizes Theorem 24 of Caporaso's paper about binary curves from the case r≤ 2 to arbitrary rank, and shows that the space of Osserman-limit linear series on a general binary curve has the expected dimension, which was known for r≤ 2. In addition, we show that this space of linear series is still of expected dimension after imposing certain ramification conditions with respect to a sequence of increasing effective divisors supported on two general points lying on different components of the curve.
