The Canonical Model of a Singular Curve

We give re fined statements and modern proofs of Rosenlicht's re- sults about the canonical model C' of an arbitrary complete integral curve C. Notably, we prove that C and C' are birationally equivalent if and only if C is nonhyperelliptic, and that, if C is nonhyperelliptic, then C&...
