Abstract.
Brill-Noether theory of curves on K3 surfaces is well understood. Quite little is known for curves lying on abelian surfaces. Given a general abelian surface S with polarization L of type $(1,n)$, we will first focus on the gonality of smooth curves $C$ in the linear system $
L
$ and show that this is not constant when moving $C$ in $
L
$.
We will then study linear series of type $g^r_d$ with $r\geq 2$. We will prove that, as soon as the Brill-Noether number is negative and some other inequalities are satisfied, the locus $
L
^r_d$ of smooth curves in $
L
$ possessing a $g^r_d$ is nonempty and has the expected dimension. As an application, we obtain the existence of a component of the Brill-Noether locus $M^r_{g,d}$ having the expected codimension in the moduli space of curves $M_g$. This is a joint work with A. L. Knutsen and G. Mongardi.
