The Effective Gonality Conjecture for syzygies of curves

Let CC be a smooth complex algebraic curve of genus gg and gonality kk, and let LL be a very ample line bundle on CC with

deg(L)2g1+k.\operatorname{deg}(L)\geq 2g-1+k.

Write h0(L)=dimH0(C,L)h^0(L)=\dim H^0(C,L), and let Kp,q(C,L)K_{p,q}(C,L) denote the Koszul cohomology group of pp-th order syzygies of weight qq. Effective Gonality Conjecture. For every such line bundle LL,

Kh0(L)k,1(C,L)=0.K_{h^0(L)-k,1}(C,L)=0.

The conjecture gives an effective form of the Gonality Conjecture, strengthening the known asymptotic vanishing for arbitrary smooth curves. The source establishes it in several cases, but the statement is presented as a conjecture in general.
