Finite subschemes of abelian varieties and the Schottky problem

Martin G. Gulbrandsen, Martí Lahoz (2011)

Annales de l’institut Fourier

The Castelnuovo-Schottky theorem of Pareschi-Popa characterizes Jacobians, among indecomposable principally polarized abelian varieties ( A , Θ ) of dimension g , by the existence of g + 2 points Γ A in special position with respect to 2 Θ , but general with respect to Θ , and furthermore states that such collections of points must be contained in an Abel-Jacobi curve. Building on the ideas in the original paper, we give here a self contained, scheme theoretic proof of the theorem, extending it to finite, possibly...

Non-supersingular hyperelliptic jacobians

Yuri G. Zarhin (2004)

Bulletin de la Société Mathématique de France

Let K be a field of odd characteristic p , let f ( x ) be an irreducible separable polynomial of degree n 5 with big Galois group (the symmetric group or the alternating group). Let C be the hyperelliptic curve y 2 = f ( x ) and J ( C ) its jacobian. We prove that J ( C ) does not have nontrivial endomorphisms over an algebraic closure of K if either n 7 or p 3 .

On coverings of simple abelian varieties

Olivier Debarre (2006)

Bulletin de la Société Mathématique de France

To any finite covering f : Y X of degree d between smooth complex projective manifolds, one associates a vector bundle E f of rank d - 1 on X whose total space contains Y . It is known that E f is ample when X is a projective space ([Lazarsfeld 1980]), a Grassmannian ([Manivel 1997]), or a Lagrangian Grassmannian ([Kim Maniel 1999]). We show an analogous result when X is a simple abelian variety and f does not factor through any nontrivial isogeny X ' X . This result is obtained by showing that E f is M -regular in the...
