The rank of hyperelliptic Jacobians in families of quadratic twists

Sebastian Petersen (2006)

Journal de Théorie des Nombres de Bordeaux

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 1 . Most elliptic curves have even infinitely many twists of rank 2 and examples of elliptic curves with infinitely many twists of rank 4 are known. There are also certain density results. This paper studies the variation of the...

The rank of the multiplication map for sections of bundles on curves

E. Ballico (2001)

Bollettino dell'Unione Matematica Italiana

Sia X una curva liscia di genere g 2 ed A , B fasci coerenti su X . Sia μ A , B : H 0 X , A H 0 X , B H 0 X , A B l'applicazione di moltiplicazione. Qui si dimostra che μ A , B ha rango massimo se A ω X e B è un fibrato stabile generico su X . Diamo un'interpretazione geometrica dell'eventuale non-surgettività di μ A , B quando A , B sono fibrati in rette generati da sezioni globali e deg A + deg B 3 g - 1 . Studiamo anche il caso dim Coker μ A , B 2 .

The Schottky-Jung theorem for Mumford curves

Guido Van Steen (1989)

Annales de l'institut Fourier

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.

The small Schottky-Jung locus in positive characteristics different from two

Fabrizio Andreatta (2003)

Annales de l’institut Fourier

We prove that the locus of Jacobians is an irreducible component of the small Schottky locus in any characteristic different from 2 . The proof follows an idea of B. van Geemen in characteristic 0 and relies on a detailed analysis at the boundary of the q - expansion of the Schottky-Jung relations. We obtain algebraically such relations using Mumford’s theory of 2 -adic theta functions. We show how the uniformization theory of semiabelian schemes, as developed by D. Mumford, C.-L. Chai and G. Faltings,...
