Abstract
Trigonal curves provide an example of Brill–Noether special curves. Theorem 1.3 of Larson (Invent Math 224(3):767–790, 2021) characterizes the Brill–Noether theory of general trigonal curves and the refined stratification by Brill–Noether splitting loci, which parametrize line bundles whose push-forward to \(\mathbb {P}^1\) has a specified splitting type. This note describes the refined stratification for all trigonal curves. Given the Maroni invariant of a trigonal curve, we determine the dimensions of all Brill–Noether splitting loci and describe their irreducible components. When the dimension is positive, these loci are connected, and if furthermore the Maroni invariant is 0 or 1, they are irreducible.
