The Intersection of Four Quadrics in IP6, Abelian Surfaces and their Moduli.
We study the enumerative geometry of the moduli space of Prym varieties of dimension . Our main result is that the compactication of is of general type as soon as and is different from 15. We achieve this by computing the class of two types of cycles on : 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....
In this article we show that the Bounded Height Conjecture is optimal in the sense that, if is an irreducible subvariety with empty deprived set in a power of an elliptic curve, then every open subset of does not have bounded height. The Bounded Height Conjecture is known to hold. We also present some examples and remarks.
We study a moduli space for Artin-Schreier curves of genus over an algebraically closed field of characteristic . We study the stratification of by -rank into strata of Artin-Schreier curves of genus with -rank exactly . We enumerate the irreducible components of and find their dimensions. As an application, when , we prove that every irreducible component of the moduli space of hyperelliptic -curves with genus and -rank has dimension . We also determine all pairs for...
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.
