On the birationality of the adjunction mapping of projective varieties
Let be a smooth projective -fold such that and a globally
generated, big line bundle on such that . We give
necessary and sufficient conditions for the adjoint systems to be
birational for . In particular, for Calabi-Yau -folds we
generalize and prove parts of a conjecture of Gallego and Purnaprajna.Comment: 7 pages, accepted for publication in Journal of the Ramanujan

Remarks on families of singular curves with hyperelliptic normalizations
We give restrictions on the existence of families of curves on smooth
projective surfaces of nonnegative Kodaira dimension all having constant
geometric genus and hyperelliptic normalizations. In particular, we
prove a Reider-like result whose proof is ``vector bundle-free'' and relies on
deformation theory and bending-and-breaking of rational curves in \Sym^2(S).
We also give examples of families of such curves.Comment: 18 page
