Canonical divisors on a vertex wedge #
If two graphs are identified at marked vertices x and y, the canonical
divisor of the wedge is
K_(G ∨ H) = K_G + K_H + 2(x = y).
The extra two chips are the valence correction at the identified vertex. In
particular the sum of the two factor canonical divisors is canonically dual to
the doubled glue point. Riemann--Roch then gives a useful uniform estimate:
on a connected wedge of total genus four, K_G + K_H has rank at least one.
This file is deliberately independent of genus two and of two-pole joins. It is the reusable one-pole calculation underlying the genus-two/genus-two seed.
The degree of a left vertex in a wedge is its left-factor degree, with the right marked degree added at the common vertex.
The sum of the two factor canonical divisors on their vertex wedge.

Canonical wedge formula. Identifying two vertices contributes two additional canonical chips at the common vertex.
The doubled glue point is literally the canonical complement of the factor-canonical sum.
Riemann--Roch compares the factor-canonical sum with the doubled glue point on a connected wedge.
On a connected wedge of total genus four, the sum of the two factor canonical divisors has rank at least one.
