Title: Tropical Brill-Noether Theory and the Gieseker-Petri Theorem

Speaker: David Jensen, Yale University & University of Kentucky

Seminar TypeAlgebraic Geometry

Abstract: Many problems in algebraic geometry concern the behavior of linear series on general curves. The recently developed theory of specialization of linear series from algebraic to tropical curves provides us with a new set of tools for approaching such problems. We will show how such tools can be used to produce a new proof of the Gieseker-Petri Theorem, which says that the varieties parameterizing linear series on a general curve are smooth.
