Title
Special Algebraic Curves

Abstract
Algebraic curves (Riemann surfaces), and their moduli space, are classical objects of interest in geometry, algebra, and number theory. Given a curve, it is natural to ask how can we put it into projective space? The study of maps from curves to project space is Brill—Noether theory, also called a "representation theory for curves". We'll give an overview of how Brill—Noether theory impacts other properties of curves and highlight recent developments.
