Jan 8, 2019 at 13:39 comment added Roman Fedorov @Stanley Yao Xiao: you say "this is an exact statement over an algebraically closed field" -- this is not unless you work with polarized abelian varieties. From the above discussion it seems to follow that there exists a polarized Jacobian abelian variety $A/K$ such that whenever $Jac(Y)$ is isomorphic to $A$ as polarized abelian variety, $Y$ has no rational points.
Dec 23, 2018 at 23:26 comment added Ariyan Javanpeykar @RomanFedorov What about a higher genus curve $Y$ over $\mathbb{Q}$ with no non-trivial automorphisms and $Y(\mathbb{Q}) = \emptyset$? Such a curve has no twists. (Does this really answer the question though? It seems to me that there could still be a curve $Y'$ with $Y'(\mathbb{Q})\neq \emptyset$ such that $Jac(Y') \cong Jac(Y)$. This isomorphism won't respect the theta divisor.)
Dec 14, 2018 at 14:13 comment added Roman Fedorov If you can find a curve $Y/K$ with the following property: for every $Y'/K$ such that $Y$ and $Y'$ are isomorphic over $\bar K$, $Y'(K)=\emptyset$. Then $Jac(Y)$ is such an example.
