Abelian varieties are projective algebraic varieties endowed with an Abelian group structure. Over the complex numbers, they can be described as quotients of a vector space by a lattice of full rank. They are analogs in higher dimensions of elliptic curves, and play an important role in algebraic geometry and number theory.

Quotient of an abelian surface by an antisymplectic involution

Denote by $\sigma$ the involution on the abelian surface $A$ and set $X:=A/\sigma$. The eigenvalues of the action of $\sigma$ on $H^0(\Omega^1_A)$ are $+1$ and $-1$. So $\sigma$ has no isolated fixed …

General curves of genus 3 as plane sections of Kummer surfaces

Let $C$ be a non hyperelliptic curve of genus 3, let $f\colon C'\to C$ be an e'tale double cover and let $A$ be the Prym variety of $f$. Then $A$ is a principally polarized surface and the Abel-Prym …

Can the Albanese map be anything?

Smooth hypersurfaces of fixed degree $d$ in $\mathbb P^n$ ($n\ge 3$) are simply connected, so they have trivial Albanese, and are of general type for $d>n+1$. The Hilbert polynomial is determined by …

Which curves can be found on Abelian varieties?

Gian Pietro Pirola in [Curves on generic Kummer varieties, Duke Math. J. Volume 59, Number 3 (1989), 701-708] proves a rigidity theorem for curves of genus $g\le q-2$ in the Kummer variety of a $q …

Properties of subvarieties of a simple abelian variety

At least over the complex numbers, $X$ is of general type by an old result of Ueno (see Damian's comment below) that says the following: Let $E$ be the biggest abelian subvariety of $A$ such that $X …
