Hurwitz-Brill-Noether Theory via K3 Surfaces
Abstract
I will discuss the Brill-Noether theory of a general elliptic 𝐾3 surface using wall-crossing with respect to Bridgeland stability conditions. As an application, I will provide an example of a general 𝑘-gonal curve from the perspective of Hurwitz-Brill-Noether theory. This is joint work with Gavril Farkas and Andrés Rojas.

Torsion Subgroups of Modular Jacobians
Abstract
In 1977 Mazur proved that the rational torsion subgroup of the Jacobian of the modular curve $X_0(N)$, $N > 5$ prime, is generated by the linear equivalence class of the difference of the two cusps. More generally, it is conjectured that for a general $N$, the rational torsion subgroup of the Jacobian of $X_0(N)$ is generated by cusps. In this talk, we'll discuss a generalisation of this to other modular curves, namely certain covers of $X_0(N)$, indexed by subgroups of $(\mathbf{Z}/N\mathbf{Z})^\times$.
