Abstract

Let Π:C → B be a (possibly ramified) covering map between smooth curves over an algebraically closed field with the genus of B being at least two. A question due to David Prill asks whether h0(X, OC-1(b))) = 1 for the general closed point b ∈ B. We investigate this question. If C is hyperelliptic, then h0(X, OC-1(b))) = 1 for the general closed point b ∈ B.
