Semistability of Frobenius direct images over curves

Vikram B. Mehta, Christian Pauly (2007)

Bulletin de la Société Mathématique de France

Let X be a smooth projective curve of genus g 2 defined over an algebraically closed field k of characteristic p > 0 . Given a semistable vector bundle  E over X , we show that its direct image F * E under the Frobenius map F of X is again semistable. We deduce a numerical characterization of the stable rank- p vector bundles  F * L , where L is a line bundle over X .

Singularities of 2 Θ -divisors in the jacobian

Christian Pauly, Emma Previato (2001)

Bulletin de la Société Mathématique de France

We consider the linear system | 2 Θ 0 | of second order theta functions over the Jacobian J C of a non-hyperelliptic curve C . A result by J.Fay says that a divisor D | 2 Θ 0 | contains the origin 𝒪 J C with multiplicity 4 if and only if D contains the surface C - C = { 𝒪 ( p - q ) p , q C } J C . In this paper we generalize Fay’s result and some previous work by R.C.Gunning. More precisely, we describe the relationship between divisors containing 𝒪 with multiplicity 6 , divisors containing the fourfold C 2 - C 2 = { 𝒪 ( p + q - r - s ) p , q , r , s C } , and divisors singular along C - C , using the third exterior...

Singularities of theta divisors and the geometry of 𝒜 5

Journal of the European Mathematical Society

We study the codimension two locus H in 𝒜 g consisting of principally polarized abelian varieties whose theta divisor has a singularity that is not an ordinary double point. We compute the class [ H ] C H 2 ( 𝒜 g ) for every g . For g = 4 , this turns out to be the locus of Jacobians with a vanishing theta-null. For g = 5 , via the Prym map we show that H 𝒜 5 has two components, both unirational, which we describe completely. We then determine the slope of the effective cone of 𝒜 5 ¯ and show that the component N 0 ' ¯ of the Andreotti-Mayer...

Some surfaces with maximal Picard number

Arnaud Beauville (2014)

Journal de l’École polytechnique — Mathématiques

For a smooth complex projective variety, the rank ρ of the Néron-Severi group is bounded by the Hodge number h 1 , 1 . Varieties with ρ = h 1 , 1 have interesting properties, but are rather sparse, particularly in dimension 2 . We discuss in this note a number of examples, in particular those constructed from curves with special Jacobians.
