Equations defining reducible Kummer surfaces in ℙ⁵

Tomasz Szemberg (1996)

Annales Polonici Mathematici

Similarity:

Principally polarized abelian surfaces are the Jacobians of smooth genus 2 curves or of stable genus 2 curves of special type. In [S] we studied equations describing Kummer surfaces in the case of an irreducible principal polarization on the abelian surface. The aim of this note is to give a treatment of the second case. We describe intermediate Kummer surfaces coming from abelian surfaces carrying a product principal polarization. In Proposition 12 we give explicit equations of these...

On special values of theta functions of genus two

Ehud De Shalit, Eyal Z. Goren (1997)

Annales de l'institut Fourier

Similarity:

We study a certain finitely generated multiplicative subgroup of the Hilbert class field of a quartic CM field. It consists of special values of certain theta functions of genus 2 and is analogous to the group of Siegel units. Questions of integrality of these specials values are related to the arithmetic of the Siegel moduli space.
