Let $S$ be a very general Enriques surface. In this paper we show that $\Omega_{S}|_C$ is semistable for a general curve $C \in |H|$, where $H$ is an effective line bundle on $S$. Moreover, we give explicit constructions of families of smooth irreducible curves that destabilize $\Omega_S$
In this paper we study higher Gaussian (or Wahl) maps for the canonical bundle of certain smooth projective curves. More precisely, we determine the rank of higher Gaussian maps of the canonical bundle for plane curves, for curves contained in certain linear systems in a surface given by a product of two curves and for curves contained in a sufficiently ample line bundle on an Enriques surface.
In recent work by Arena, Canning, Clader, Haburcak, Li, Mok, and Tamborini it was proven that for infinitely many values of $g$ and $n$, there exist non-tautological algebraic cohomology classes on the moduli space $\mathcal{M}_{g,n}$ of smooth genus $g$, $n$-pointed curves. Here we show how a generalization of their technique allows to cover most of the remaining cases, proving the existence of non-tautological algebraic cohomology classes on the moduli space $\mathcal{M}_{g,n}$ for all but finitely many values of $g$ and $n$.
In this paper we study higher even Gaussian maps of the canonical bundle on hyperelliptic curves and we determine their rank, giving explicit descriptions of their kernels. Then we use this descriptions to investigate the hyperelliptic Torelli map $j_h$ and its second fundamental form. We study isotropic subspaces of the tangent space $T_{{\mathcal H}_g, [C]}$ to the moduli space ${\mathcal H}_g$ of hyperelliptic curves of genus $g$ at a point $[C]$, with respect to the second fundamental form $\rho_{HE}$ of $j_h$. In particular, for any Weierstrass point $p \in C$, we construct a subspace $V_p$ of dimension $\lfloor\frac{g}{2} \rfloor$ of $T_{{\mathcal H}_g, [C]}$ generated by higher Schiffer variations at $p$, such that the only isotropic tangent direction $\zeta \in V_p$ for the image of $\rho_{HE}$ is the standard Schiffer variation $\xi_p$ at the Weierstrass point $p \in C$.
We prove that the $k$-th Gaussian map $γ^k_{H}$ is surjective on a polarized unnodal Enriques surface $(S, H)$ with $ϕ(H)>2k+4$. In particular, as a consequence, when $ϕ(H)>4(k+2)$, we obtain the surjectivity of the $k$-th Gauss-Prym map $γ^k_{ω_C\otimesα}$ on smooth hyperplane sections $C\in \vert H\vert.$ In case $k=1$ it is sufficient to ask $ϕ(H)>6$.
We give obstructions - in terms of Gaussian maps - for a marked Prym curve $(C,α,T_d)$ to admit a singular model lying on an Enriques surface with only one $d$-ordinary point singularity and in such a way that $T_d$ corresponds to the divisor over the singular point.
