Abstract
The paper is concerned with some properties of linear series on smooth plane curves; in fact, we study mainly the case of cubic curves. The main result describes the growth of the dimension of non complete linear series, generalizing to cubics a well known result of Gieseker, about linear series on the projective lines.
