Abstract We compactify the classical moduli variety Ag of principally polarized abelian varieties of complex dimension g, by attaching the moduli of flat tori of real dimensions at most g in an explicit manner. Equivalently, we explicitly determine the Gromov–Hausdorff limits of principally polarized abelian varieties. This work is analogous to [50], where we compactified the moduli of curves by attaching the moduli of metrized graphs. Then, we also explicitly specify the Gromov–Hausdorff limits along holomorphic families of abelian varieties and show that these form special nontrivial subsets of the whole boundary. We also do the same for algebraic curves case and observe a crucial difference with the case of abelian varieties.

AbstractMotivated by the theory of complex multiplication of abelian varieties, in this paper we study the conformality classes of flat tori in $${\mathbb {R}}^{n}$$ R n and investigate criteria to determine whether a n-dimensional flat torus has non trivial (i.e. bigger than $${\mathbb {Z}}^{*}={\mathbb {Z}}{\setminus }\{0\}$$ Z ∗ = Z \ { 0 } ) semigroup of conformal endomorphisms (the analogs of isogenies for abelian varieties). We then exhibit several geometric constructions of tori with this property and study the class of conformally equivalent lattices in order to describe the moduli space of the corresponding tori.

Abstract We give completely algebro-geometric proofs of a theorem by T. Shiota, and of a theorem by I. Krichever, characterizing Jacobians of algebraic curves among all irreducible principally polarized abelian varieties. Shiota’s characterization is given in terms of the KP equation. Krichever’s characterization is given in terms of trisecant lines to the Kummer variety. Here we treat the case of flexes and degenerate trisecants. The basic tool we use is a theorem we prove asserting that the base locus of the linear system associated to an effective line bundle on an abelian variety is reduced. This result allows us to remove all the extra assumptions that were introduced in the theorems by the first author, C. De Concini, G.Marini, and O. Debarre, in order to achieve algebro-geometric proofs of the results above.

AbstractIn this paper, we construct abelian varieties associated to Gauss’ and Appell–Lauricella hypergeometric series. Abelian varieties of this kind and the algebraic curves we define to construct them were considered by several authors in settings ranging from monodromy groups (Deligne, Mostow), exceptional sets (Cohen, Wolfart, Wüstholz), modular embeddings (Cohen, Wolfart) to CM-type (Cohen, Shiga, Wolfart) and modularity (Darmon). Our contribution is to provide a complete, explicit and self-contained geometric construction.

AbstractThe Rarita–Schwinger operator is the twisted Dirac operator restricted to $$\nicefrac 32$$ 3 2 -spinors. Rarita–Schwinger fields are solutions of this operator which are in addition divergence-free. This is an overdetermined problem and solutions are rare; it is even more unexpected for there to be large dimensional spaces of solutions. In this paper we prove the existence of a sequence of compact manifolds in any given dimension greater than or equal to 4 for which the dimension of the space of Rarita–Schwinger fields tends to infinity. These manifolds are either simply connected Kähler–Einstein spin with negative Einstein constant, or products of such spaces with flat tori. Moreover, we construct Calabi–Yau manifolds of even complex dimension with more linearly independent Rarita–Schwinger fields than flat tori of the same dimension.
