Abstract

I generalize David Zureick-Brown and John Voight's work on log-canonical rings to graph curves. I use a paper of Noot as a starting point. I outline some of the difficulties in developing Max Noether-like and Petri-like theorems. I work out theorems for the generators of most well behaved graph curves. I also find a useful construction for hyperelliptic graph curves.
