The strong maximal rank conjecture and moduli spaces of curves
Building on recent work of the authors, we use degenerations to chains of elliptic curves to prove two cases of the Aprodu-Farkas strong maximal rank conjecture, in genus $22$ and $23$. This…

The Strong Maximal Rank conjecture and higher rank Brill–Noether theory
In this paper, we compute the cohomology class of certain ‘special maximal‐rank loci’ originally defined by Aprodu and Farkas. By showing that such classes are non‐zero, we are able to verify the…

Interpolation for Brill–Noether curves in $${\mathbb {P}}^4$$ P 4
We compute the number of general points through which a general Brill–Noether curve in $${\mathbb {P}}^4$$ P 4 passes. We also prove an analogous theorem when some points are constrained to lie in a…

Given $n$ general points $p_1, p_2, \ldots , p_n \in{\mathbb{P}}^r$ it is natural to ask whether there is a curve of given degree $d$ and genus $g$ passing through them; by counting dimensions a…
