Abstract
LetY be a Gorenstein trigonal curve withg:=pa(Y)≥0. Here we study the theory of special linear systems onY, extending the classical case of a smoothY given by Maroni in 1946. As in the classical case, to study it we use the minimal degree surface scroll containing the canonical model ofY. The answer is different if the degree 3 pencil onY is associated to a line bundle or not. We also give the easier case of special linear series on hyperelliptic curves. The unique hyperelliptic curve of genusg which is not Gorenstein has no special spanned line bundle.
