We prove that the moduli spaces of curves of genus 22 and 23 are of general type. To do this, we calculate certain virtual divisor classes of small slope associated to linear series of rank 6 with quadric relations. We then develop new tropical methods for studying linear series and independence of quadrics and show that these virtual classes are represented by effective divisors.

On the Kodaira dimension of the moduli space of curves, II. The even-genus case
The purpose of this paper is to prove that the moduli space JC/g of curves of genus g over C is of general type if g is odd and g > 25. Moreover, the Kodaira dimension is at least 0 if g=23. It
