The Gonality of an Integral Curve

Abstract: This talk introduces gonality for arbitrary integral curves, and reports on joint work in progress with Steve Kleiman. Discussed are topics that appear naturally, including the following: linear series defined by torsion-free sheaves of rank 1; the relation among gonality, scrolls, and canonical models; and an upper bound on gonality.
