contents Generalizing the Martens theorem for line bundles over a curve $C$, we obtain upper bounds on the dimension of the Brill--Noether locus $B^k_{n, d}$ parametrizing stable bundles of rank $n \ge 2$ and degree $d$ over $C$ with at least $k$ independent sections. This proves a conjecture of the second author and generalizes bounds obtained by him in the rank two case. We give more refined results for some values of $d$, including a generalized Mumford theorem for $n \ge 2$ when $d \le g - 1$. The statements are obtained chiefly by analysis of the tangent spaces of $B^k_{n, d}$. As an application, we show that for $n \ge 5$ the locus $B^2_{n, n(g-1)}$ is irreducible and reduced for any $C$.
