Abstract

Abstract. In the 80’s D. Eisenbud and J. Harris considered the following problem: “What are the limits of Weierstrass points in families of curves degenerating to stable curves? ” But for the case of stable curves of compact type, treated by them, this problem remained wide open since then. In the present article, we propose a concrete approach to this problem, and give a quite explicit solution for stable curves with just two irreducible components meeting at points in general position.
