In this paper, we study K3 double structures on minimal rational surfaces [Formula: see text]. The results show there are infinitely many non-split abstract K3 double structures on [Formula: see text] parametrized by [Formula: see text], countably many of which are projective. For [Formula: see text] there exists a unique non-split abstract K3 double structure which is non-projective (see [J.-M. Drézet, Primitive multiple schemes, preprint (2020), arXiv:2004.04921 , to appear in Eur. J. Math.]). We show that all projective K3 carpets can be smoothed to a smooth K3 surface. One of the byproducts of the proof shows that unless [Formula: see text] is embedded as a variety of minimal degree, there are infinitely many embedded K3 carpet structures on [Formula: see text]. Moreover, we show any embedded projective K3 carpet on [Formula: see text] with [Formula: see text] arises as a flat limit of embeddings degenerating to 2:1 morphism. The rest do not, but we still prove the smoothing result. We further show that the Hilbert points corresponding to the projective K3 carpets supported on [Formula: see text], embedded by a complete linear series are smooth points if and only if [Formula: see text]. In contrast, Hilbert points corresponding to projective (split) K3 carpets supported on [Formula: see text] and embedded by a complete linear series are always smooth. The results in [P. Bangere, F. J. Gallego and M. González, Deformations of hyperelliptic and generalized hyperelliptic polarized varieties, preprint (2020), arXiv:2005.00342 ] show that there are no higher dimensional analogues of the results in this paper.

Classically, an indecomposable class $R$ in the cone of effective curves on a K3 surface $X$ is representable by a smooth rational curve if and only if $R^{2}=-2$. We prove a higher-dimensional generalization conjectured by Hassett and Tschinkel: for a holomorphic symplectic variety $M$ deformation equivalent to a Hilbert scheme of $n$ points on a K3 surface, an extremal curve class $R\in H_{2}(M,\mathbb{Z})$ in the Mori cone is the line in a Lagrangian $n$-plane $\mathbb{P}^{n}\subset M$ if and only if certain intersection-theoretic criteria are met. In particular, any such class satisfies $(R,R)=-\frac{n+3}{2}$, and the primitive such classes are all contained in a single monodromy orbit.

We prove the Green–Lazarsfeld secant conjecture [Green and Lazarsfeld, On the projective normality of complete linear series on an algebraic curve, Invent. Math. 83 (1986), 73–90; Conjecture (3.4)] for extremal line bundles on curves of arbitrary gonality, subject to explicit genericity assumptions.

We study the Brill–Noether theory of the normalizations of singular, irreducible curves on a K3 surface. We introduce a singular Brill–Noether number ρsing and show that if Pic (K3) = ℤ[L], there are no [Formula: see text]'s on the normalizations of irreducible curves in |L|, provided that ρsing < 0. We give examples showing the sharpness of this result. We then focus on the case of hyperelliptic normalizations, and classify linear systems |L| containing irreducible nodal curves with hyperelliptic normalizations, for ρsing < 0, without any assumption on the Picard group.

We prove a specialization inequality relating the dimension of the complete linear series on a variety to the tropical complex of a regular semistable degeneration. Our result extends Baker's specialization inequality to arbitrary dimension.

Abstract This paper aims at settling the issue of the validity of the de Jonquières formulas. Consider the space of divisors with prescribed multiplicity, or de Jonquières divisors, contained in a linear series on a smooth projective curve. Under the assumption that this space is zero dimensional, the de Jonquières formulas compute the expected number of de Jonquières divisors. Using degenerations to nodal curves we show that, for a general curve equipped with a complete linear series, the space is of expected dimension, which shows that the counts are in fact true. This implies that in the case of negative expected dimension a general linear series on a general curve does not admit de Jonquières divisors of the expected type.

AbstractIn this paper we consider the birational classification of pairs (S, ℒ), withSa rational surface andℒa linear system onS. We give a classification theorem for such pairs, and we determine, for each irreducible plane curveB, itsCremona minimalmodels, that is, those plane curves which are equivalent toBvia a Cremona transformation and have minimal degree under this condition.

Abstract The geometry of divisors on algebraic curves has been studied extensively over the years. The foundational results of this Brill-Noether theory imply that on a general curve, the spaces parametrizing linear series (of fixed degree and dimension) are smooth, irreducible projective varieties of known dimension. For higher dimensional varieties, the story is less well understood. Our purpose in this paper is to study in detail one class of higher dimensional examples where one can hope for a quite detailed picture, namely (the spaces parametrizing) divisors on the symmetric product of a curve.
