Let X be a nonsingular algebraic K3 surface carrying a nonsingular hyperelliptic curve of genus 3 and no rational curves. Our purpose is to study two algebraic deformations of X, viz. one specialization and one generalization. We assume the characteristic ≠ 2. The generalization of X is a nonsingular quartic surface Q in P3 : we wish to show in § 1 that there is an irreducible algebraic family of surfaces over the affine line, in which X is a member and in which Q is a general member. The specialization of X is a surface Y having a birational model which is a ramified double cover of a quadric cone in P3.

Abstract Let C be a hyperelliptic curve of genus $g \geq 3$ . In this paper, we give a new geometric description of the theta map for moduli spaces of rank 2 semistable vector bundles on C with trivial determinant. In order to do this, we describe a fibration of (a birational model of) the moduli space, whose fibers are GIT quotients $(\mathbb {P}^1)^{2g}//\text {PGL(2)}$ . Then, we identify the restriction of the theta map to these GIT quotients with some explicit degree 2 osculating projection. As a corollary of this construction, we obtain a birational inclusion of a fibration in Kummer $(g-1)$ -varieties over $\mathbb {P}^g$ inside the ramification locus of the theta map.

Abstract Let X be an Enriques surface over the field of complex numbers. We prove that there exists a nontrivial quaternion algebra 𝓐 on X. Then we study the moduli scheme of torsion free 𝓐-modules of rank one. Finally we prove that this moduli scheme is an étale double cover of a Lagrangian subscheme in the corresponding moduli scheme on the associated covering K3 surface.

Let C be a curve of genus two. We denote by [Formula: see text] the moduli space of semi-stable vector bundles of rank 3 and trivial determinant over C, and by Jd the variety of line bundles of degree d on C. In particular, J1 has a canonical theta divisor Θ. The space [Formula: see text] is a double cover of ℙ8 = |3Θ| branched along a sextic hypersurface, the Coble sextic. In the dual [Formula: see text], where J1 is embedded, there is a unique cubic hypersurface singular along J1, the Coble cubic. We prove that these two hypersurfaces are dual, inducing a non-abelian Torelli result. Moreover, by looking at some special linear sections of these hypersurfaces, we can observe and reinterpret some classical results of algebraic geometry in a context of vector bundles: the duality of the Segre–Igusa quartic with the Segre cubic, the symmetric configuration of 15 lines and 15 points, the Weddle quartic surface and the Kummer surface.

In this paper, we define a generalized arithmetic-geometric mean μg among 2g terms motivated by 2τ-formulas of theta constants. By using Thomae's formula, we give two expressions of μg when initial terms satisfy some conditions. One is given in terms of period integrals of a hyperelliptic curve C of genus g. The other is by a period integral of a certain Calabi–Yau g-fold given as a double cover of the g-dimensional projective space Pg.

The classical subject of surfaces containing a hyperelliptic curve (here a double cover of P1) among their hyperplane sections was settled some years ago by the third author and Van de Ven [SV] (see also [Se], [Io]). This paper is devoted to answering the following general question arising very naturally from that problem.
