Polarizations of Prym varieties for Weyl groups via abelianization

Herbert Lange, Christian Pauly (2009)

Journal of the European Mathematical Society

Let π : Z X be a Galois covering of smooth projective curves with Galois group the Weyl group of a simple and simply connected Lie group G . For any dominant weight λ consider the curve Y = Z / Stab ( λ ) . The Kanev correspondence defines an abelian subvariety P λ of the Jacobian of Y . We compute the type of the polarization of the restriction of the canonical principal polarization of Jac ( Y ) to P λ in some cases. In particular, in the case of the group E 8 we obtain families of Prym-Tyurin varieties. The main idea is the use of...
