Betti Numbers of Curves and Multiple-Point Loci

We construct Eagon--Northcott cycles on Hurwitz space and compare their classes to Kleiman's multiple point loci. Applying this construction towards the classification of Betti tables of canonical curves, we find that the value of the extremal Betti number records the number of minimal pencils. The result holds under transversality hypotheses equivalent to the virtual cycles having a geometric interpretation. We analyse the case of two minimal pencils, showing that the transversality hypotheses hold generically.
