Base point free for $g^1_2$ for hyperelliptic curve












1












$begingroup$


Let $C$ be a curve of genus lager than 1. $C$ is called hyperelliptic if it contains a $g_2^1$ linear system, meaning that $D$ is of degree $2$ with $dim|D|=2$ if $D$ is such a divisor in this linear system. Then the book said that it has to be base point free. I did not get this result. I used Riemann-Roch showed that $l(K-D)>0$. But I did not see why it is base point free.

    You are starting from a function $f in mathcal{L}(Q_1+Q_2)subset k(C)$ such that $div(f) = P_1+P_2 -Q_1-Q_2 $ ?

    This question is really badly written. Please read it and try to edit so that it makes sense. And tell us what $D$ you're working with.

    @TedShifrin Sorry for my bad writing. I try to improve it a bit. Here $D$ is a divisor in such a linear system. As I know the degree of the divisor, and I know $l(D)$ as it is same as dimension of the linear system +1, so I apply the Riemann-Roch to it.

    Hint: suppose there is a nonempty base locus. Now remove it. What happens to your $mathfrak{g}^{1}_2$?

  • $begingroup$
    @SamirCanning I try to argue like this. Let $B$ be a base locus, nonempty. First the degree will not be 2, as $deg(D-B)=0$ which will have dimension of global sections is one, contradiction to $r=1$. if $deg(B)=1$, then there is a meromorphic function with only one pole and no others, then the curve would be of genus 0, which is a contradiction. Is the argument correct? And is there a proof without argument depending on degree?
