Abstract
Here we study the Brill–Noether theory of “extremal” Cornalba’s theta-characteristics on stable curves C of genus g, where “extremal” means that they are line bundles on a quasi-stable model of C with #(Sing(C)) exceptional components.
Highlights
For any integer g ≥ 2 let M g denote the moduli space of stable curves of genus g over an algebraically closed field K such that char(K) = 0
C ∈ M g is equivalent to prescribe the images in Sing(C) of the quasistable model of C on which a Cornalba’s theta-characteristic “is” a line bundle (it is not quite a line bundle L, but a line bundle up-to inessential isomorphisms and we need to prescribe the line bundle L⊗2 ([5], Lemma 2.1 and first part of §3))
None of these problems affect the Brill–Noether theory for the theta-characteristics we will consider in this note
Summary

We study the Brill–Noether theory of “extremal” Cornalba’s theta-characteristics on stable curves C of genus g, where “extremal” means that they are line bundles on a quasi-stable model of C with (Sing(C)) exceptional components
