Daniele Agostini, The Martens-Mumford Theorem and the Green-Lazarsfeld Secant Conjecture
B266 IBS, Korea, Republic ofSpeaker Daniele Agostini Eberhard Karls Universität Tübingen The syzygies of a curve are the algebraic relation amongst the equation defining it. They are an algebraic concept but they have surprising applications to geometry. For example, the Green-Lazarsfeld secant conjecture predicts that the syzygies of a curve of sufficiently high degree are controlled by …
