Abstract We give an algebraic method to compute the fourth power of the quotient of any even theta constants associated with a given non-hyperelliptic curve in terms of geometry of the curve. In order to apply the method, we work out non-hyperelliptic curves of genus 4, in particular, such curves lying on a singular quadric, which arise from del Pezzo surfaces of degree 1. Indeed, we obtain a complete level 2 structure of the curves by studying their theta characteristic divisors via exceptional divisors of the del Pezzo surfaces as the structure is required for the method.

1. In a previous note the author has examined the systems of tangent planes to a degenerate surface in S3 consisting of n planes, regarded as the limit of a general surface of the same order. It is well known that a pair of space curves which are the limiting form of a non-degenerate curve must have a certain number of intersections; hence, if a surface in higher space degenerates into a number of surfaces, these must intersect in curves of various orders. In the present paper we consider the nature of the envelope to a surface consisting of two general surfaces of S4 having in common a single curve of general character, the degenerate surface being regarded as the limit of some surface of general type. The same conclusions hold for a similar degenerate surface in Sr (r>4).

AbstractWe prove the existence of a smooth and non-degenerate curve $X\subset \mathbb{P}^{n}$, $n\geqslant 8$, with $\deg (X)=d$, $p_{a}(X)=g$, $h^{1}(N_{X}(-1))=0$, and general moduli for all $(d,g,n)$ such that $d\geqslant (n-3)\lceil g/2\rceil +n+3$. It was proved by C. Walter that, for $n\geqslant 4$, the inequality $2d\geqslant (n-3)g+4$ is a necessary condition for the existence of a curve with $h^{1}(N_{X}(-1))=0$.

We show that a general prime Fano three-fold X of genus 8 can be reconstructed from the pair (Γ, L), where Γ is its Fano curve of lines and L = OΓ(1) is the theta-characteristic which gives a natural embedding Γ ⊂ ℙ5.

AbstractLet $$X\subset \mathbb {P}^3$$ X ⊂ P 3 be an integral and non-degenerate curve. We say that $$q\in \mathbb {P}^3\setminus X$$ q ∈ P 3 \ X has X-rank 3 if there is no line $$L\subset \mathbb {P}^3$$ L ⊂ P 3 such that $$q\in L$$ q ∈ L and $$\#(L\cap X)\ge 2$$ # ( L ∩ X ) ≥ 2 . We prove that for all hyperelliptic curves of genus $$g\ge 5$$ g ≥ 5 there is a degree $$g+3$$ g + 3 embedding $$X\subset \mathbb {P}^3$$ X ⊂ P 3 with exactly $$2g+2$$ 2 g + 2 points with X-rank 3 and another embedding without points with X-rank 3 but with exactly $$2g+2$$ 2 g + 2 points $$q\in \mathbb {P}^3$$ q ∈ P 3 such that there is a unique pair of points of X spanning a line containing q. We also prove the non-existence of points of X-rank 3 for general curves of bidegree (a, b) in a smooth quadric (except in known exceptional cases) and we give lower bounds for the number of pairs of points of X spanning a line containing a fixed $$q\in \mathbb {P}^3\setminus X$$ q ∈ P 3 \ X . For all integers $$g\ge 5$$ g ≥ 5 , $$x\ge 0$$ x ≥ 0 we prove the existence of a nodal hyperelliptic curve X with geometric genus g, exactly x nodes, $$\deg (X) = x+g+3$$ deg ( X ) = x + g + 3 and having at least $$x+2g+2$$ x + 2 g + 2 points of X-rank 3.
