The Prym variety for a cyclic unramified cover of a hyperelliptic Riemann surface.
The variation of the rank of elliptic curves over in families of quadratic twists has been extensively studied by Gouvêa, Mazur, Stewart, Top, Rubin and Silverberg. It is known, for example, that any elliptic curve over admits infinitely many quadratic twists of rank . Most elliptic curves have even infinitely many twists of rank and examples of elliptic curves with infinitely many twists of rank are known. There are also certain density results. This paper studies the variation of the...
Sia una curva liscia di genere ed , fasci coerenti su . Sia l'applicazione di moltiplicazione. Qui si dimostra che ha rango massimo se e è un fibrato stabile generico su . Diamo un'interpretazione geometrica dell'eventuale non-surgettività di quando sono fibrati in rette generati da sezioni globali e . Studiamo anche il caso .
The Schottky-Jung proportionality theorem, from which the Schottky relation for theta functions follows, is proved for Mumford curves, i.e. curves defined over a non-archimedean valued field which are parameterized by a Schottky group.
We prove that the locus of Jacobians is an irreducible component of the small Schottky locus in any characteristic different from . The proof follows an idea of B. van Geemen in characteristic and relies on a detailed analysis at the boundary of the - expansion of the Schottky-Jung relations. We obtain algebraically such relations using Mumford’s theory of -adic theta functions. We show how the uniformization theory of semiabelian schemes, as developed by D. Mumford, C.-L. Chai and G. Faltings,...
