According to [H. Lange and A. Ortega, Prym varieties of triple coverings, Int. Math. Res. Notices2011(22) (2011) 5045–5075], the Prym variety of any non-cyclic étale triple cover f : Y → X of a smooth curve X of genus 2 is a Jacobian variety of dimension 2. This gives a map from the moduli space of such covers to the moduli space of Jacobian varieties of dimension 2. We extend this map to a proper map Pr of a moduli space [Formula: see text] of admissible S3-covers of genus 7 to the moduli space [Formula: see text] of principally polarized abelian surfaces. The main result is that [Formula: see text] is finite surjective of degree 10.

AbstractWe consider the Prym map from the space of double coverings of a curve of genus gwithrbranch points to the moduli space of abelian varieties. We prove that 𝒫:ℛg,r→𝒜δg−1+r/2is generically injective ifWe also show that a very general Prym variety of dimension at least 4 is not isogenous to a Jacobian.

Abstract In this note we describe the restriction map from the moduli space of stable rank 2 bundles with c2 = 2 on a jacobian X of dimension 2, to the moduli space of stable rank 2 bundles on the corresponding genus 2 curve C embedded in X.

AbstractGiven a curve of genus 3 with an unramified double cover, we give an explicit description of the associated Prym variety. We also describe how an unramified double cover of a non-hyperelliptic genus 3 curve can be mapped into the Jacobian of a curve of genus 2 over its field of definition and how this can be used to perform Chabauty- and Brauer–Manin-type calculations for curves of genus 5 with an fixed-point-free involution. As an application, we determine the rational points on a smooth plane quartic and give examples of curves of genus 3 and 5 violating the Hasse principle. The methods are, in principle, applicable to any genus 3 curve with a double cover. We also show how these constructions can be used to design smooth plane quartics with specific arithmetic properties. As an example, we give a smooth plane quartic with all 28 bitangents defined over $\mathbb {Q}(t)$. By specialization, this also gives examples over $\mathbb {Q}$.

Abstract We continue our study on the hypergeometric system $E(3,6)$ that describes period integrals of the double cover family of K3 surfaces. Near certain special boundary points in the moduli space of the K3 surfaces, we construct the local solutions and determine the so-called mirror maps expressing them in terms of genus 2 theta functions. These mirror maps are the K3 analogues of the elliptic $\lambda $-function. We find that there are two nonisomorphic definitions of the lambda functions corresponding to a flip in the moduli space. We also discuss mirror symmetry for the double cover K3 surfaces and their higher dimensional generalizations. A follow-up paper will describe more details of the latter.

Let ${\mathcal{F}}_{g}^{\mathbf{N}}$ be the moduli space of polarized Nikulin surfaces $(Y,H)$ of genus $g$ and let ${\mathcal{P}}_{g}^{\mathbf{N}}$ be the moduli of triples $(Y,H,C)$ , with $C\in |H|$ a smooth curve. We study the natural map $\unicode[STIX]{x1D712}_{g}:{\mathcal{P}}_{g}^{\mathbf{N}}\rightarrow {\mathcal{R}}_{g}$ , where ${\mathcal{R}}_{g}$ is the moduli space of Prym curves of genus $g$ . We prove that it is generically injective on every irreducible component, with a few exceptions in low genus. This gives a complete picture of the map $\unicode[STIX]{x1D712}_{g}$ and confirms some striking analogies between it and the Mukai map $m_{g}:{\mathcal{P}}_{g}\rightarrow {\mathcal{M}}_{g}$ for moduli of triples $(Y,H,C)$ , where $(Y,H)$ is any genus $g$ polarized $K3$ surface. The proof is by degeneration to boundary points of a partial compactification of ${\mathcal{F}}_{g}^{\mathbf{N}}$ . These represent the union of two surfaces with four even nodes and effective anticanonical class, which we call half Nikulin surfaces. The use of this degeneration is new with respect to previous techniques.

Throughout the paper, a scheme means a noetherian scheme. By a curve C over a scheme S of genus g, we mean a proper and smooth S-scheme with irreducible curves of genus g as geometric fibres. In the previous paper [15], the author showed that the field of moduli for a non-hyperelliptic curve over a field coincides with the one for its canonically polarized jacobian variety, and in [16], he gave a partial result on the coincidence of the fields of rationality for a hyperelliptic curve and for its canonically polarized jacobian variety. In the present paper, we will discuss the isomorphy of the isomorphism schemes of two curves over a scheme and of their canonically polarized jacobian schemes, by using Oort-Steenbrink’s result [12].

AbstractLet Φ: S → C denote a fibration from a smooth projective surface onto a smooth curve, with fibres of genus ≥2. The double dual of the sheaf of relative differentials has been studied by F. Serrano [14]. There, it was proved that dim grows asymptotically as the square of n in case Φ is not isotrivial (i.e. fibres vary in modulus), and the converse holds true in most cases, in a way that can be made precise. In the non-isotrivial case, the present paper provides further information about by analysing the linear systems for large n. If P denotes the positive part of in its Zariski decomposition, then it is shown that |rP| is eventually base-point free for some r > 0. Furthermore, Proj is a normal projective surface, fibred over C, birational to S, and with only rational singularities.

AbstractMilnor proved that the moduli space Md of rational maps of degree d ≥ 2 has a complex orbifold structure of dimension 2(d − 1). Let us denote by ${\mathcal S}$d the singular locus of Md and by ${\mathcal B}$d the branch locus, that is, the equivalence classes of rational maps with non-trivial holomorphic automorphisms. Milnor observed that we may identify M2 with ℂ2 and, within that identification, that ${\mathcal B}$2 is a cubic curve; so ${\mathcal B}$2 is connected and ${\mathcal S}$2 = ∅. If d ≥ 3, then it is well known that ${\mathcal S}$d = ${\mathcal B}$d. In this paper, we use simple arguments to prove the connectivity of ${\mathcal S}$d.
