Abstract

The gonality sequence (dr)r>1 of a smooth algebraic curve comprises the minimal degrees dr of linear systems of rank r. We explain two approaches to compute the gonality sequence of smooth curves in P1 ×P1: a tropical and a classical approach. The tropical approach uses the recently developed Brill–Noether theory on tropical curves and Baker’s specialization of linear systems from curves to metric graphs [1].
