May 15, 2021 at 15:43 comment added Jef It's not obvious, and is specific to the theory of curves and jacobian varieties. You can look at Milne's notes on abelian varieties, Chapter III, Section 9 ('Obtaining coverings of a curve from its Jacobian')
May 15, 2021 at 13:48 comment added AVP82000 It is still unclear to me why the preimage of C under [n] would be smooth and irreducible. I tried looking it up but was unsuccessful. I have a feeling that Prop A.3.2.4 from Diophantine Geometry by Hindry and Silverman, which says if $f : X \rightarrow Y$ is a finite morphism between 2 projective varities, if $D$ is an ample divisor on $Y$, then $f^* D$ is an ample divisor on $X$ maybe useful, but I don't understand it very well, so maybe it is completly wrong?
May 5, 2021 at 19:43 comment added AVP82000 Thanks a lot for this answer, it already helps me a lot, I am not very well-versed in Algebraic geometry, but I am taking my time to understand your answer to the first question. For references for the answer to the second question, I found the Chapter in Diophantine Geometry by Hindry and Silverman useful, it has all the theorems used.
