Abstract

We produce Brill-Noether general graphs in every genus, confirming a conjecture of Baker and giving a new proof of the Brill-Noether Theorem, due to Griffiths and Harris. Our proof provides an explicit criterion for a curve to be Brill-Noether general over discretely valued fields of arbitrary pure or mixed characteristic.
