Abstract: Motivated by previous work on deformation theory of higher order theta-characteristics, we introduce a weighted Gaussian map $\gamma_{a,b}(X,L)$, where $a$, $b$ are positive integers, $X$ is a smooth projective variety, $L$ is a line bundle on $X$ and $\gamma_{1,1}(X,L)$ is the ordinary Gaussian map for $(X,L)$. We establish a sharp lower bound on its rank and we investigate the extremal cases for curves.

Keywords: Gaussian map, Wahl map

Classification (MSC2000): 14H99, 14F10
