The Kodaira dimension of the moduli space of Prym varieties

Gavril Farkas, Katharina Ludwig (2010)

Journal of the European Mathematical Society

We study the enumerative geometry of the moduli space g of Prym varieties of dimension g - 1 . Our main result is that the compactication of g is of general type as soon as g > 13 and g is different from 15. We achieve this by computing the class of two types of cycles on g : one defined in terms of Koszul cohomology of Prym curves, the other defined in terms of Raynaud theta divisors associated to certain vector bundles on curves. We formulate a Prym–Green conjecture on syzygies of Prym-canonical curves....

The optimality of the Bounded Height Conjecture

Evelina Viada (2009)

Journal de Théorie des Nombres de Bordeaux

In this article we show that the Bounded Height Conjecture is optimal in the sense that, if V is an irreducible subvariety with empty deprived set in a power of an elliptic curve, then every open subset of V does not have bounded height. The Bounded Height Conjecture is known to hold. We also present some examples and remarks.

The p -rank stratification of Artin-Schreier curves

Rachel Pries, Hui June Zhu (2012)

Annales de l’institut Fourier

We study a moduli space 𝒜𝒮 g for Artin-Schreier curves of genus g over an algebraically closed field k of characteristic p . We study the stratification of 𝒜𝒮 g by p -rank into strata 𝒜𝒮 g . s of Artin-Schreier curves of genus g with p -rank exactly s . We enumerate the irreducible components of 𝒜𝒮 g , s and find their dimensions. As an application, when p = 2 , we prove that every irreducible component of the moduli space of hyperelliptic k -curves with genus g and 2 -rank s has dimension g - 1 + s . We also determine all pairs ( p , g ) for...

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.
