Green's conjecture for canonical curves
Green's conjecture for canonical curves
Let be a non-hyperelliptic canonical curve of genus . Its Clifford index is
Here is the dimension of the linear span of the image and is the degree of the map. Green's conjecture. The Clifford index of is equal to the least integer for which Property fails for . This predicts the precise first failure of the linear-syzygy properties of a canonical curve, extending Petri's theorem; its general form remains open, although many cases are known.
