Abstract:
Given a Riemann surface of genus p, denoted by ${X_p}$, admitting j linear series of dimension r and degree n Accola derived a polynomial function $f(j,n,r)$ so that $p \leq f(j,n,r)$ and exhibited plane models of Riemann surfaces attaining equality in the inequality. In this paper we provide a classification of all such ${X_p}$ when $r \geq 6$. In addition we classify curves, ${X_p}$, of maximal genus when ${X_p}$ admits two linear series which have a common dimension but different degrees.References
