Using lattice theory on special $$K3$$K3 surfaces, calculations on moduli stacks of pointed curves and Voisin’s proof of Green’s Conjecture on syzygies of canonical curves, we prove the Prym–Green Conjecture on the naturality of the resolution of a general Prym-canonical curve of odd genus, as well as (many cases of) the Green–Lazarsfeld Secant Conjecture on syzygies of non-special line bundles on general curves.

The Martens-Mumford Theorem and the Green-Lazarsfeld Secant Conjecture
The Green-Lazarsfeld secant conjecture predicts that the syzygies of a curve of sufficiently high degree are controlled by its special secants. We prove this conjecture for all curves of Clifford…
The extremal secant conjecture for curves of arbitrary gonality
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)]…
LINEAR SYZYGIES OF k-GONAL CURVES
In this paper we consider the linear strand of the minimal free resolution of a kgonal curve C of genus g. We firstly study Schreyer’s Conjecture, which goes beyond Green’s conjecture in predicting…
The Prym–Green conjecture for torsion line bundles of high order
The Prym-Green Conjecture predicts that the resolution of a generic n-torsion paracanonical curve of every genus is natural. The conjecture has mostly been studied so far for level 2, that is, for…

LINEAR SYZYGIES OF CURVES WITH PRESCRIBED GONALITY 3 is the Betti
We prove two statements concerning the linear strand of the minimal free resolution of a k-gonal curve C of genus g. Firstly, we show that a general curve C of genus g of nonmaximal gonality k ≤ g+1…
Progress on Syzygies of Algebraic Curves
These notes discuss recent advances on syzygies on algebraic curves, especially concerning the Green, the Prym-Green and the Green-Lazarsfeld Secant Conjectures. The methods used are largely…
Singular divisors and syzygies of polarized abelian threefolds
We provide numerical conditions for a polarized abelian threefold $(A,L)$ to have simple syzygies, in terms of property $(N_p)$ and the vanishing of Koszul cohomology groups $K_{p,1}$. We rely on a…
The resolution of paracanonical curves of odd genus
The Prym-Green conjecture predicts that the resolution of a general level p paracanonical curve of genus g is natural. Using decomposable ruled surfaces over an elliptic curve, we provide a complete…
Syzygies of projective varieties of large degree: Recent progress and open problems
This paper is a survey of recent work on the asymptotic behavior of the syzygies of a smooth complex projective variety as the positivity of the embedding line bundle grows. After a quick overview…

Green’s conjecture for curves on arbitrary K3 surfaces
Abstract Green’s conjecture predicts than one can read off special linear series on an algebraic curve, by looking at the syzygies of its canonical embedding. We extend Voisin’s results on syzygies…

We establish Green's syzygy conjecture for classes of covers of curves of higher Clifford dimension. These curves have an infinite number of minimal pencils, in particular they do not verify a…

The purpose of this note is to show that curves generating the Picard group of a K3 surface X with Pic( X) = Z behave generically from the point of view of Brill-Noether theory. In particular, one…
