Paper 4, Section II, F
(i) Explain how a linear system on a curve may induce a morphism from to projective space. What condition on the linear system is necessary to yield a morphism such that the pull-back of a hyperplane section is an element of the linear system? What condition is necessary to imply the morphism is an embedding?
(ii) State the Riemann-Roch theorem for curves.
(iii) Show that any divisor of degree 5 on a curve of genus 2 induces an embedding.
