Gonality of algebraic curves and graphs

preprint2013arXivOpen access

Abstract

We study the interplay between the classical theory of linear series on curves, and the recent theory of linear series on graphs. We prove that every d-gonal (weighted) graph of Hurwitz type is the dual graph of a d-gonal curve. Conversely the dual graph of a d-gonal curve is equivalent to a d-gonal graph. We define d-gonal graphs by what we call harmonic indexed morphisms. Generalizations to higher dimensional linear series, and applications to tropical curves and hyperelliptic graphs are given.
