Bertram–Feinberg–Mukai conjecture for rank-two canonical bundles

About 16 years old · traced to

Set ρg,k:=3g−3−(k+12)\rho_{g,k}:=3g-3-\binom{k+1}{2}. Let CC be a general curve of genus g≥2g\geq 2, and consider the moduli space of stable rank-two vector bundles on CC with canonical determinant and kk sections. Bertram–Feinberg–Mukai conjecture. This moduli space is non-empty and has expected dimension ρg,k\rho_{g,k} whenever ρg,k≥0\rho_{g,k}\geq 0; when ρg,k<0\rho_{g,k}<0, it is empty. This conjecture motivates the study of quadratic Strong Maximal Rank Conjecture loci and connects their geometry with rank-two Brill–Noether theory. The supplied context does not state whether the conjecture has been resolved.
