Riemann-Roch for graphs #
This file contains the Riemann-Roch theorem for graphs and its main corollaries, following [Corry-Perkinson], Chapter 5.
riemann_roch_for_graphs: The Riemann-Roch theorem, $r(D) - r(K_G - D) = \deg(D) - g + 1$ ([Corry-Perkinson], Theorem 5.9).maximal_unwinnable_symmetry: $D$ is maximal unwinnable iff $K_G - D$ is ([Corry-Perkinson], Corollary 5.11).clifford_theorem: If $r(D) \geq 0$ and $r(K_G - D) \geq 0$, then $r(D) \leq \deg(D)/2$ ([Corry-Perkinson], Corollary 5.13).riemann_roch_deg_to_rank_corollary: Nonspecial range results ([Corry-Perkinson], Corollary 5.14).
Riemann-Roch theorem for graphs: $r(D) - r(K_G - D) = \deg(D) - g + 1$. This is [Corry-Perkinson], Theorem 5.9.
$D$ is maximal unwinnable if and only if $K_G - D$ is maximal unwinnable. This is [Corry-Perkinson], Corollary 5.11.
Clifford's theorem: If $r(D) \geq 0$ and $r(K_G - D) \geq 0$, then $r(D) \leq \deg(D)/2$. This is [Corry-Perkinson], Corollary 5.13.
Nonspecial range: (1) $\deg(D) < 0 \Rightarrow r(D) = -1$; (2) $0 \leq \deg(D) \leq 2g-2 \Rightarrow r(D) \leq \deg(D)/2$; (3) $\deg(D) > 2g-2 \Rightarrow r(D) = \deg(D) - g$. This is [Corry-Perkinson], Corollary 5.14.
Gonality #
The Riemann-Roch theorem provides some basic information about the gonality of a graph.
gonality_geq G k means that no divisor of degree < k has rank at least 1.
Equations
- gonality_geq G k = ∀ l < k, ¬gonality_leq G l
Instances For
A connected graph has gonality at most g + 1, where g is its genus.
Any degree realizing gonality_leq is at least 1.
A connected graph has gonality at most g + 1, where g is its genus.
The gonality of a connected graph is at least 1.
