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.

Fiber of the Prym map in dim 2

This must be very classical, but I can't find a reference. Is there an explicit description of the (generic?) fibers of the Prym map $\mathcal{R}_3 \to \mathcal{A}_2$? By this I mean the map t …

Action of $(\mathbb{Z}/2g\mathbb{Z})$ on quadratic forms on $\mathbb{Z}/2\mathbb{Z}$-vector ...

Let $\mathbb{Z}/2\mathbb{Z}$ the 2 elements field, with additive notation. I need some clarifications on the relation between quadratic forms on a $\mathbb{Z}/2\mathbb{Z}$-vector space (say, of dimen …

symmetric theta structures and arithmetic subgroups

A symmetric theta structure is a theta structure that commutes with (a lift of) the natural involution $\imath: A \to A$ an an abelian variety. For simplicity I will assume that $A$ is a surface. Now …

On morphisms to projective space arising from a linear system

$E$ can't intersect $C$ in a finite number of points because otherwise the restriction of $\phi$ to $C$ would be a finite degree morphism, which you assume is not. $E$ is the pull-back of the hyperpla …

(3,3) abelian surface and k3 surfaces

SOrry for the very specific question, but curiosity bites.... So here's the story: an idecomposable principally polarized abelian surface is embedded in $P^8=|3\Theta |^* $ as a deg 18 surface A. Mo …

equation for abelian varieties with a given polarization

Let $A$ be an abelian variety of dimension g and a polarization $L$ of type $(d_1,.....,d_g)$ (let alone the case $d_i=d_j,$ $\forall i, j$). What is the degree of the generators of the homogeneous id …

quasi-trigonal curves

I have read in the literature about quasi-trigonal curves. Such a curve C is a hyperelliptic curve X with two points p,q identified (basically a pinch). They seem to be pretty important in the theory …
