question:Consider a projective algebraic curve C of degree 4 in mathbb{P}^3 defined by the equation f(x,y,z,w) = 0 where f is a homogeneous polynomial of degree 4. Let mathcal{O}_C(1) be the line bundle on C associated to the hyperplane class in mathbb{P}^3. Given that H^1(C,mathcal{O}_C(2)) = 0 and H^1(C,mathcal{O}_C(3)) = 5, compute the value of H^1(C,mathcal{O}_C(4)).

answer:We will use the short exact sequence of sheaves and the Serre duality theorem to compute H^1(C,mathcal{O}_C(4)). Consider the short exact sequence of sheaves on mathbb{P}^3: 0 to mathcal{O}_{mathbb{P}^3}(4) to mathcal{O}_{mathbb{P}^3}(8) to mathcal{O}_C(4) to 0, where the first map is given by multiplication by the polynomial f defining the curve C. Taking the long exact sequence in cohomology, we get: cdots to H^1(mathbb{P}^3, mathcal{O}_{mathbb{P}^3}(4)) to H^1(mathbb{P}^3, mathcal{O}_{mathbb{P}^3}(8)) to H^1(C, mathcal{O}_C(4)) to H^2(mathbb{P}^3, mathcal{O}_{mathbb{P}^3}(4)) to cdots Since mathcal{O}_{mathbb{P}^3}(4) and mathcal{O}_{mathbb{P}^3}(8) are both positive line bundles on mathbb{P}^3, we have H^1(mathbb{P}^3, mathcal{O}_{mathbb{P}^3}(4)) = H^1(mathbb{P}^3, mathcal{O}_{mathbb{P}^3}(8)) = 0. Thus, we get an isomorphism: H^1(C, mathcal{O}_C(4)) cong H^2(mathbb{P}^3, mathcal{O}_{mathbb{P}^3}(4)). Now, we use the Serre duality theorem, which states that for a line bundle mathcal{L} on a smooth projective variety X of dimension n, we have: H^i(X, mathcal{L}) cong H^{n-i}(X, mathcal{L}^vee otimes K_X), where mathcal{L}^vee is the dual line bundle and K_X is the canonical bundle of X. In our case, X = mathbb{P}^3, n = 3, and mathcal{L} = mathcal{O}_{mathbb{P}^3}(4). We have mathcal{L}^vee = mathcal{O}_{mathbb{P}^3}(-4) and K_{mathbb{P}^3} = mathcal{O}_{mathbb{P}^3}(-4). Thus, we get: H^2(mathbb{P}^3, mathcal{O}_{mathbb{P}^3}(4)) cong H^1(mathbb{P}^3, mathcal{O}_{mathbb{P}^3}(-4) otimes mathcal{O}_{mathbb{P}^3}(-4)) = H^1(mathbb{P}^3, mathcal{O}_{mathbb{P}^3}(-8)). Since mathcal{O}_{mathbb{P}^3}(-8) is a negative line bundle on mathbb{P}^3, we have H^1(mathbb{P}^3, mathcal{O}_{mathbb{P}^3}(-8)) = 0. Therefore, we conclude that: H^1(C, mathcal{O}_C(4)) = 0.,To compute H^1(C,mathcal{O}_C(4)), we will use the following theorem: Theorem (Riemann-Roch): Let C be a smooth projective curve of genus g and D a divisor on C. Then, h^0(C, D) - h^1(C, D) = deg(D) - g + 1 Now, let's consider the divisor D = 4C, where C is the divisor associated to the curve C. Then, deg(D) = 4 cdot deg(C). Since C is a curve of degree 4 in mathbb{P}^3, we can apply the following result: Proposition: Let C be a smooth projective curve of degree d in mathbb{P}^3. Then, the genus g of C is given by g = frac{(d-1)(d-2)}{2} In our case, d = 4, so the genus of C is g = frac{(4-1)(4-2)}{2} = frac{3 cdot 2}{2} = 3 Now, we can apply the Riemann-Roch theorem to compute h^1(C, mathcal{O}_C(4)). We have h^0(C, 4C) - h^1(C, 4C) = 4 cdot deg(C) - 3 + 1 Since we are given that H^1(C, mathcal{O}_C(2)) = 0, we can rewrite the equation as h^0(C, 4C) - h^1(C, 4C) = 4 cdot deg(C) - 2 We are also given that H^1(C, mathcal{O}_C(3)) = 5. Since mathcal{O}_C(3) = 3C, we have h^1(C, 3C) = 5. Now, we can use the Serre duality theorem, which states that h^1(, We can use the following exact sequence derived from the twisted Euler sequence on mathbb{P}^3: 0 longrightarrow mathcal{O}_{mathbb{P}^3}(1) longrightarrow mathcal{O}_{mathbb{P}^3}(4)^{oplus 4} longrightarrow mathcal{O}_{mathbb{P}^3}(5)^{oplus 6} longrightarrow 0 By restricting this sequence to the curve C, we get 0 longrightarrow mathcal{O}_C(1) longrightarrow mathcal{O}_C(4)^{oplus 4} longrightarrow mathcal{O}_C(5)^{oplus 6} longrightarrow mathcal{F} longrightarrow 0 where mathcal{F} is the cokernel of the map mathcal{O}_C(4)^{oplus 4} rightarrow mathcal{O}_C(5)^{oplus 6}. Since C is a complete intersection in mathbb{P}^3, it follows that H^1(C, mathcal{O}_C(4)) = H^1(C, mathcal{O}_C(5)) = 0. Thus, applying the long exact sequence of cohomology, we obtain 0 longrightarrow H^0(C, mathcal{O}_C(1)) longrightarrow H^0(C, mathcal{O}_C(4)^{oplus 4}) longrightarrow H^0(C, mathcal{O}_C(5)^{oplus 6}) longrightarrow H^1(C, mathcal{F}) longrightarrow 0 Now, observe that text{rk}(mathcal{F}) = 6 cdot 5 - 4 cdot 4 = 18 - 16 = 2 So, mathcal{F} is a vector bundle of rank 2 on C. By the theorem of Grauert and Mülich, we have H^1(C, mathcal{F}) cong H^1(C, mathcal{O}_C(2)) otimes H^0(C, mathcal{O}_C(5))^{oplus 6} oplus H^1(C, mathcal{O}_C(3))^{oplus 4} Since H^1(C, mathcal{O}_C(2)) = 0, it follows that H^1(C, mathcal{F}) cong H^1(C, mathcal{O}_C(3))^{oplus 4} = 5^{oplus 4} = mathbb{C}^{20} Now, from the long exact sequence, we have 0 longrightarrow H^0(C, mathcal{O}_C(1)) longrightarrow H^0(C, mathcal{O}_C(4)^{oplus 4}) longrightarrow H^0(C, mathcal{O}_C(5)^{oplus 6}) longrightarrow mathbb{C}^{20} longrightarrow 0 Comparing dimensions, we get h^0(C, mathcal{O}_C(4)^{oplus 4}) - h^0(C, mathcal{O}_C(5)^{oplus 6}) = 20 which implies h^0(C, mathcal{O}_C(4)) cdot 4 - h^0(C, mathcal{O}_C(5)) cdot 6 = 20 But since both h^0(C, mathcal{O}_C(4)) and h^0(C, mathcal{O}_C(5)) are positive, the only solution is h^0(C, mathcal{O}_C(4)) = 6, quad h^0(C, mathcal{O}_C(5)) = 5 Finally, applying the long exact sequence one more time, we obtain H^1(C, mathcal{O}_C(4)) cong H^1(C, mathcal{F}) and thus h^1(C, mathcal{O}_C(4)) = dim_{mathbb{C}} H^1(C, mathcal{F}) = 20

question:Consider a smooth projective curve C of genus 3 over an algebraically closed field k, given by the following equation: y^2z = x^3 - xz^2 Let X be the projective plane curve in mathbb{P}^2(k) defined by the equation: X = V(y^2z - x^3 + xz^2)subset mathbb{P}^2(k) Determine the dimension of the vector space H^1(C, mathcal{O}_C), where mathcal{O}_C is the sheaf of regular functions on C and H^1(C, mathcal{O}_C) denotes the first cohomology group of C with coefficients in mathcal{O}_C.

answer:To compute the dimension of H^1(C, mathcal{O}_C), we can use the Riemann-Roch theorem for curves. The Riemann-Roch theorem states that for a divisor D on a smooth projective curve C of genus g, we have: dim H^0(C, mathcal{O}_C(D)) - dim H^1(C, mathcal{O}_C(D)) = deg(D) + 1 - g In our case, we want to compute the dimension of H^1(C, mathcal{O}_C), which corresponds to the case when D = 0. Thus, the Riemann-Roch theorem gives us: dim H^0(C, mathcal{O}_C) - dim H^1(C, mathcal{O}_C) = deg(0) + 1 - g Since the degree of the zero divisor is 0 and the genus of our curve is 3, we have: dim H^0(C, mathcal{O}_C) - dim H^1(C, mathcal{O}_C) = 1 - 3 Now, we need to compute dim H^0(C, mathcal{O}_C). Recall that H^0(C, mathcal{O}_C) is the space of global regular functions on C. Since C is a projective curve, the only global regular functions on C are constants. Therefore, dim H^0(C, mathcal{O}_C) = 1. Substituting this into our equation, we get: 1 - dim H^1(C, mathcal{O}_C) = -2 Solving for dim H^1(C, mathcal{O}_C), we find that: dim H^1(C, mathcal{O}_C) = 3 Thus, the dimension of the vector space H^1(C, mathcal{O}_C) is 3., The Riemann-Roch theorem is a powerful tool for computing the dimension of cohomology groups of line bundles on a smooth projective curve. However, it requires knowing the canonical bundle or the divisor class group of the curve, which may not be immediately obvious from the given equation. In this case, we can use the fact that for a smooth plane curve X of degree d, we have (Hartshorne, Exercise IV.1.6): h^0(X, mathcal{O}_X(m)) = binom{m+2}{2} - binom{m-d+2}{2} for all m geq d-3. Here, h^0(X, mathcal{F}) denotes the dimension of the vector space of global sections of a sheaf mathcal{F} on X. Note that this formula holds for any projective plane curve, not just those defined by a single equation. Now, consider the short exact sequence of sheaves on C: 0 longrightarrow mathcal{O}_C longrightarrow mathcal{O}_C(1) longrightarrow mathcal{O}_C(1)/mathcal{O}_C longrightarrow 0 Taking the long exact sequence in cohomology, we obtain: 0 longrightarrow H^0(C, mathcal{O}_C) longrightarrow H^0(C, mathcal{O}_C(1)) longrightarrow H^0(C, mathcal{O}_C(1)/mathcal{O}_C) longrightarrow H^1(C, mathcal{O}_C) longrightarrow H^1(C, mathcal{O}_C(1)) longrightarrow ... Since C is a smooth curve of degree 3, we have h^0(C, mathcal{O}_C(1)) = 4 and h^1(C, mathcal{O}_C(1)) = 0 by the formula above. Moreover, since mathcal{O}_C(1)/mathcal{O}_C is supported on the set of points where x = y = 0, which has degree 2, we have h^0(C, mathcal{O}_C(1)/mathcal{O}_C) leq 2. In fact, since -(x/z) and -(y/z) generate mathcal{O}_C(1)/mathcal{O}_C, we actually have h^0(C, mathcal{O}_C(1)/mathcal{O}_C) = 2. Putting everything together, we get an exact sequence: 0 longrightarrow k longrightarrow k^4 longrightarrow k^2 longrightarrow H^1(C, mathcal{O}_C) longrightarrow 0 where the first map sends 1 mapsto (1, 0, 0, 0) and the second map sends (a, b, c, d) mapsto (a - bx/z - cy/z^2, d). Since the kernel of the second map has dimension 3, we conclude that h^1(C, mathcal{O}_C) = dim operatorname{coker}((a, b, c) mapsto a - bx/z - cy/z^2). To compute this dimension, consider the following linear map: varphi: k^3 longrightarrow kx, y, z_2, qquad (a, b, c) mapsto a - bx/z - cy/z^2 where kx, y, z_2 denotes the vector space of homogeneous polynomials of degree 2. Note that varphi is injective, since if (a, b, c) in ker varphi, then a = bx/z + cy/z^2 and hence z^2a = zbx + cy^2, which implies a = b = c = 0. Moreover, it's not hard to see that the image of varphi is precisely the subspace of kx, y, z_2 consisting of polynomials that vanish when x = y = 0, i.e., the subspace spanned by xz, y, z^2. Thus, dim operatorname{im} varphi = 3 and hence dim operatorname{coker} varphi = dim H^1(C, mathcal{O}_C) = 0. In conclusion, we have h^1(C, mathcal{O}_C) = dim H^1(C, mathcal{O}_C) = 0.,To determine the dimension of the vector space H^1(C, mathcal{O}_C), we can use the Riemann-Roch theorem for algebraic curves. The Riemann-Roch theorem states that for a divisor D on a smooth projective curve C of genus g, we have: l(D) - l(K_C - D) = deg(D) + 1 - g where l(D) is the dimension of the space of meromorphic functions with poles only at the points of D, K_C is the canonical divisor, and deg(D) is the degree of the divisor D. In our case, we want to find the dimension of H^1(C, mathcal{O}_C), which is equivalent to finding the dimension of l(K_C) since mathcal{O}_C is the structure sheaf and K_C is the canonical divisor. The canonical divisor K_C is associated with the canonical bundle mathcal{O}_C(K_C), which is the bundle of holomorphic 1-forms on C. For a smooth projective curve of genus g, we have l(K_C) = g. In our case, the genus of the curve C is 3, so we have: l(K_C) = 3 Therefore, the dimension of the vector space H^1(C, mathcal{O}_C) is 3.

question:Consider the projective variety Xsubseteqmathbb{P}^3 given by the vanishing of the homogeneous polynomial f=x_0^3+x_0^2x_1+x_0x_2^2+x_3^3. Let mathcal{O}_X(1) denote the line bundle associated to the hyperplane class on mathbb{P}^3. Calculate the dimension of the cohomology group H^1(X,mathcal{O}_X(2)).

answer:To compute the dimension of the cohomology group H^1(X, mathcal{O}_X(2)), we can use the long exact sequence associated with the short exact sequence of sheaves on mathbb{P}^3: 0 to mathcal{O}_X(1) to mathcal{O}_X(2) to mathcal{O}_X(2)|_X to 0. This sequence induces the following long exact sequence of cohomology groups: cdots to H^0(mathbb{P}^3, mathcal{O}_X(1)) to H^0(mathbb{P}^3, mathcal{O}_X(2)) to H^0(X, mathcal{O}_X(2)|_X) to H^1(mathbb{P}^3, mathcal{O}_X(1)) to H^1(mathbb{P}^3, mathcal{O}_X(2)) to cdots Now, we know that H^0(mathbb{P}^3, mathcal{O}_X(1)) and H^0(mathbb{P}^3, mathcal{O}_X(2)) are both 4-dimensional (since they are spanned by monomials of degrees 1 and 2 in the homogeneous coordinates x_0, x_1, x_2, x_3). We also know that H^1(mathbb{P}^3, mathcal{O}_X(1)) vanishes (by the Serre duality). Thus, the long exact sequence becomes: cdots to 4 to 4 to H^0(X, mathcal{O}_X(2)|_X) to 0 to H^1(X, mathcal{O}_X(2)) to cdots This implies that H^1(X, mathcal{O}_X(2)) is isomorphic to the kernel of the map 4 to 4. Since the map is not trivial (it is induced by the restriction of the polynomial f defining X), its kernel has dimension strictly less than 4. However, without additional information about the specific arrangement of the coefficients in the polynomial f, we cannot determine the exact dimension,To compute the dimension of the cohomology group H^1(X, mathcal{O}_X(2)), we can use the short exact sequence of sheaves on X: 0 to mathcal{O}_X(1) xrightarrow{cdot f} mathcal{O}_X(4) to mathcal{O}_X(4)|_X to 0 Here, the map cdot f is the multiplication by the defining polynomial f of X. Taking the long exact sequence in cohomology, we get: 0 to H^0(X, mathcal{O}_X(1)) xrightarrow{cdot f} H^0(X, mathcal{O}_X(4)) to H^0(X, mathcal{O}_X(4)|_X) to H^1(X, mathcal{O}_X(1)) xrightarrow{cdot f} H^1(X, mathcal{O}_X(4)) Since X is a cubic hypersurface, we have mathcal{O}_X(4)|_X = mathcal{O}_X(2). Thus, we are interested in the dimension of H^1(X, mathcal{O}_X(2)), which is the same as the dimension of H^0(X, mathcal{O}_X(4)|_X). Using the fact that H^0(mathbb{P}^3, mathcal{O}_{mathbb{P}^3}(d)) has dimension binom{d+3}{3}, we can compute the dimensions of the other cohomology groups in the long exact sequence: - H^0(X, mathcal{O}_X(1)): Since mathcal{O}_X(1) is the restriction of mathcal{O}_{mathbb{P}^3}(1) to X, we have dim H^0(X, mathcal{O}_X(1)) = dim H^0(mathbb{P}^3, mathcal{O}_{mathbb{P}^3}(1)) - 1 = 3. - H^0(X, mathcal{O}_X(4)): Similarly, we have dim H^0(X, mathcal{O}_X(4)) = dim H^0(mathbb{P}^3, mathcal{O}_{mathbb{P}^3}(4)) - 1 = binom{7}{3} - 1 = 34. Now, we can compute the dimension of H^0(X, mathcal{O}_X(2)) using the long exact sequence. Since the multiplication by f map is injective, we have: dim H^0(X, mathcal{O}_X(2)) = dim H^0(X, mathcal{O}_X(4)) - dim H^0(X, mathcal{O}_X(1)) = 34 - 3 = 31 Therefore, the dimension of the cohomology group H^1(X, mathcal{O}_X(2)) is 31., To calculate the dimension of the cohomology group H^1(X,mathcal{O}_X(2)), we can use the following exact sequence derived from the short exact sequence for twisting by mathcal{O}_X(2): 0 longrightarrow mathcal{O}_X(2) longrightarrow mathcal{O}_{mathbb{P}^3}(2) longrightarrow mathcal{O}_{D}(2) longrightarrow 0 Here, D=V(f) is the affine cone over X. Since mathcal{O}_{mathbb{P}^3}(2) is a line bundle on mathbb{P}^3, we have h^i(mathbb{P}^3,mathcal{O}_{mathbb{P}^3}(2))=0 for i>0. Moreover, since D has codimension 2 in mathbb{A}^4, we have h^i(D,mathcal{O}_{D}(2))=0 for ineq 2. Therefore, the long exact sequence in cohomology becomes 0 longrightarrow H^0(X,mathcal{O}_X(2)) longrightarrow H^0(mathbb{P}^3,mathcal{O}_{mathbb{P}^3}(2)) longrightarrow H^0(D,mathcal{O}_{D}(2)) longrightarrow H^1(X,mathcal{O}_X(2)) longrightarrow 0 Now, we need to compute the dimensions of the vector spaces H^0(mathbb{P}^3,mathcal{O}_{mathbb{P}^3}(2)) and H^0(D,mathcal{O}_{D}(2)). First, we consider H^0(mathbb{P}^3,mathcal{O}_{mathbb{P}^3}(2)). This is the space of homogeneous polynomials of degree 2 in four variables, which has dimension binom{2+3}{3}=10. Next, we consider H^0(D,mathcal{O}_{D}(2)). This is the space of homogeneous polynomials of degree 2 in four variables that vanish on D. Since D=V(f), we need to find polynomials g(x_0,x_1,x_2,x_3) of degree 2 such that g(x_0,x_1,x_2,x_3)f(x_0,x_1,x_2,x_3)=0. Note that f is irreducible, so any such g must be a multiple of f. However, f has degree 3, so there are no non-trivial homogeneous polynomials of degree 2 that vanish on D. Therefore, h^0(D,mathcal{O}_{D}(2))=0. Now, from the long exact sequence in cohomology, we have h^1(X,mathcal{O}_X(2))=h^0(mathbb{P}^3,mathcal{O}_{mathbb{P}^3}(2))-h^0(D,mathcal{O}_{D}(2))=10-0=10 So the dimension of the cohomology group H^1(X,mathcal{O}_X(2)) is 10.

question:Let X be a complex manifold of dimension two and L be a line bundle on X such that c_1(L) is equal to the class of a real curve C embedded in X. If H^0(X,L^2) is equal to 13, compute the genus of the curve C.

answer:To compute the genus of the curve C, we will use the adjunction formula and the Riemann-Roch theorem. The adjunction formula relates the canonical bundle K_X of a complex manifold X, the normal bundle N_C/X of a curve C in X, and the canonical bundle K_C of the curve C: K_C = (K_X + N_C/X)|_C Since C is a real curve embedded in X, we have N_C/X = L|_C. Therefore, K_C = (K_X + L)|_C Now, we will use the Riemann-Roch theorem for the line bundle L^2 on X. The Riemann-Roch theorem states that: χ(L^2) = h^0(X, L^2) - h^1(X, L^2) = (1/2) * c_1(L^2) * (c_1(L^2) + c_1(K_X)) + χ(O_X) Given that h^0(X, L^2) = 13, we have: 13 - h^1(X, L^2) = (1/2) * c_1(L^2) * (c_1(L^2) + c_1(K_X)) + χ(O_X) Now, we need to compute c_1(L^2) and c_1(K_X). Since c_1(L) is the class of the curve C, we have: c_1(L^2) = 2 * C To compute c_1(K_X), we use the adjunction formula: c_1(K_C) = c_1(K_X + L)|_C = c_1(K_X)|_C + c_1(L)|_C Since K_C = ω_C, where ω_C is the canonical sheaf of C, we have: c_1(K_C) = 2g(C) - 2 Now, we can rewrite the Riemann-Roch equation as: 13 - h^1(X, L^2) = (1/2) * 2 * C * (2 * C + c_1(K_X)) + χ(O_X) Since χ(O_X) = 1 for a complex manifold of dimension two, we have: 12 - h^1(X, L^2) = 2 * C * (2 * C + c_1(K_X)) Now, we can substitute c_1(K_X) from the adjunction formula: 12 - h^1(X, L^2) = 2 * C * (2 * C + 2g(C) - 2 - c_1(L)|_C) Since c_1(L)|_C = C, we have: 12 - h^1(X, L^2) = 2 * C * (2 * C + 2g(C) - 2 - C) 12 - h^1(X, L^2) = C * (2 * C + 2g(C) - 2) Now, we can solve for the genus g(C): 2 * C^2 + 2g(C) * C - 2 * C = 12 - h^1(X, L^2) 2g(C) * C = 2 * C + h^1(X, L^2) g(C) = (2 * C + h^1(X, L^2)) / (2 * C) Since h^1(X, L^2) is non-negative, the genus g(C) is at least 1. However, without more information about the complex manifold X and the line bundle L, we cannot determine the exact value of the genus g(C).,To compute the genus of the curve C, we can use the adjunction formula and the Riemann-Roch theorem. First, we recall the adjunction formula for a curve C embedded in a complex manifold X of dimension two: K_C = (K_X + C)|_C where K_C and K_X are the canonical classes of C and X, respectively, and |_C denotes the restriction to C. Now, let's apply the Riemann-Roch theorem for the curve C. The Riemann-Roch theorem states that for a line bundle L on a curve C: h^0(C,L) - h^1(C,L) = deg(L) + 1 - g(C) Here, h^0(C,L) and h^1(C,L) are the dimensions of the spaces of global sections of L and its dual, respectively, deg(L) is the degree of L, and g(C) is the genus of the curve C. We are given that h^0(X,L^2) = 13, and we want to compute the genus of the curve C. From the given data, we can deduce the following: 1. Since c_1(L) is equal to the class of the real curve C embedded in X, we have c_1(L) = C. 2. By the adjunction formula, K_C = (K_X + C)|_C. Since X is a complex manifold of dimension two, K_X = 0, so K_C = C|_C. 3. In this case, L^2 = O(2C), since c_1(L^2) = 2c_1(L) = 2C. Now, we rewrite the Riemann-Roch theorem for L^2: h^0(C,O(2C)) - h^1(C,O(2C)) = deg(O(2C)) + 1 - g(C) We know that h^0(X,L^2) = 13, so h^0(C,O(2C)) = 13. We also know that deg(O(2C)) = 2 * deg(C) =, We have c_1(L) = C, where C is the class of the real curve C in X. The first Chern class c_1(L) is an element of H^2(X,mathbb{Z}), and since X is a complex manifold of dimension two, we have H^2(X,mathbb{Z}) cong mathbb{Z}. Thus, we can think of c_1(L) as an integer. By the adjunction formula, the genus g of the curve C is given by g = frac{1}{2}(c_1(L) + c_1(K_X)) + 1, where K_X is the canonical bundle of X. Since X has complex dimension two, we have c_1(K_X) = -c_1(T^*X) = -c_1(-TX) = c_1(TX), where TX is the holomorphic tangent bundle of X. Moreover, c_1(TX) = 2c_1(mathcal{O}(1)), where mathcal{O}(1) is the hyperplane line bundle on mathbb{CP}^1. Since mathbb{CP}^1 is the Riemann sphere, we have c_1(mathcal{O}(1)) = 1. Therefore, c_1(K_X) = 2c_1(mathcal{O}(1)) = 2. Now, we need to find c_1(L). Since H^0(X,L^2) = 13, we know that the complex dimension of H^0(X,L^2) is 13. Moreover, by the identification H^0(X,L^2) cong H^0(mathbb{CP}^1,mathcal{O}_{mathbb{CP}^1}(2c_1(L))), we see that c_1(L) = 2. Putting everything together, we get g = frac{1}{2}(c_1(L) + c_1(K_X)) + 1 = frac{1}{2}(2 + 2) + 1 = 3. Therefore, the genus of the curve C is 3.
