A modified Donagi–Morrison conjecture for linear series on K3 surfaces

Let SS be a K3K3 surface, let CC be a smooth irreducible curve of genus g2g\geq 2 on SS, and let AA be a complete, base point free linear series gdrg^r_d on CC, with dg1d\leq g-1 and Brill–Noether number ρ(g,r,d)<0\rho(g,r,d)<0. A line bundle MM on SS is adapted to L|L| in the sense used in the paper; the restriction of MM to CC is MOCM\otimes\mathcal O_C. Modified Donagi–Morrison conjecture. There exists a line bundle MPic(S)M\in\operatorname{Pic}(S), adapted to L|L|, such that A|A| is contained in the restriction of M|M| to CC and

Cliff(MOC)Cliff(A).\operatorname{Cliff}(M\otimes\mathcal O_C)\leq \operatorname{Cliff}(A).

The modification drops the degree inequality that the paper disproves; the candidate is presented as something one might still believe, and no resolution is supplied in the given text.
