Brill--Noether Generality of Curves and K3 Surfaces

Abstract

Lazarsfeld proved Brill--Noether generality of any smooth curve in the linear system $|H|$ where $(X,H)$ is a polarized K3 surface with $\mathrm{Pic}(X) = \mathbb{Z}\cdot H$. Mukai introduced the notion of Brill--Noether generality for quasi-polarized K3 surfaces. We prove Brill--Noether generality of any smooth curve in the linear system $|H|$ where $(X,H)$ is a Brill--Noether general quasi-polarized K3 surface.
