Abstract
Let C be a smooth projective curve in \({\mathbb {P}}^1 \times {\mathbb {P}}^1\) of genus \(g\ne 4\), and assume that it is birationally equivalent to a curve defined by a Laurent polynomial that is non-degenerate with respect to its Newton polygon \(\Delta \). Then we show that the convex hull \(\Delta ^{(1)}\) of the interior lattice points of \(\Delta \) is a standard rectangle, up to a unimodular transformation. Our main auxiliary result, which we believe to be interesting in its own right, is that the first scrollar Betti numbers of \(\Delta \)-non-degenerate curves are encoded in the combinatorics of \(\Delta ^{(1)}\), if \(\Delta \) satisfies some mild conditions.
