Green's conjecture on graded Betti numbers of curves
Green's conjecture on graded Betti numbers of curves
Let be a curve of genus . For a divisor on of degree , let denote a subspace of the Riemann–Roch space of dimension , and let be the corresponding graded Betti number. Green's conjecture. One has if and only if there exists a divisor on of degree such that a subspace of satisfies , , and . This conjecture relates the graded Betti numbers of a curve to the existence of linear series such as a , and is used in studying the complex gonality of modular curves. The source does not provide enough information here to determine whether the conjecture is open or resolved.
