Given a tame Galois branched cover of curves π : X → Y with any finite Galois group G whose representations are rational, we compute the dimension of the (generalized) Prym variety Prymρ(X) corresponding to any irreducible representation ρ of G. This formula can be applied to the study of algebraic integrable systems using Lax pairs, in particular ...

Hyperelliptic Jacobians and isogenies
Motivated by results of Mestre and Voisin, in this note we mainly consider abelian varieties isogenous to hyperelliptic Jacobians In the first part we prove that a very general hyperelliptic Jacobian of genus $g\ge 4$ is not isogenous to a non ...

The Schottky problem in genus five [PDF]
In this paper, we present a solution to the Schottky problem in the spirit of Schottky and Jung for genus five curves. To do so, we exploit natural incidence structures on the fibers of several maps to reduce all questions to statements about the Prym ...

Klein coverings of genus 2 curves
We investigate the geometry of \'etale $4:1$ coverings of smooth complex genus 2 curves with the monodromy group isomorphic to the Klein four-group. There are two cases, isotropic and non-isotropic depending on the values of the Weil pairing restricted ...

The geometry and arithmetic of bielliptic Picard curves
Abstract We study the geometry and arithmetic of the curves C:y3=x4+ax2+b$C \colon y^3 = x^4 + ax^2 + b$ and their associated Prym abelian surfaces P$P$. We prove a Torelli‐type theorem in this context and give a geometric proof of the fact that P$P$ has quaternionic multiplication by the quaternion order of discriminant 6.

Castelnuovo theory and the geometric Schottky problem
We prove and conjecture results which show that Castelnuovo theory in projective space has a close analogue for abelian varieties. This is related to the geometric Schottky problem: our main result is that a principally polarized abelian variety ...

Parity of ranks of Jacobians of curves
Abstract We investigate Selmer groups of Jacobians of curves that admit an action of a non‐trivial group of automorphisms, and give applications to the study of the parity of Selmer ranks. Under the Shafarevich–Tate conjecture, we give an expression for the parity of the Mordell–Weil rank of an arbitrary Jacobian in terms of purely local invariants ...

Prym varieties and their moduli [PDF]
We discuss the geometry of the moduli space of Prym varieties. The article is based on series of lectures given in Bedlewo and Luminy. The first section of the paper contains a detailed historical account of the lives of Friedrich Prym and Friedrich ...

Relative and absolute Lefschetz standard conjectures for some Lagrangian fibrations
Abstract We show that the hyper‐Kähler varieties of OG10‐type constructed by Laza–Saccà–Voisin (LSV) verify the Lefschetz standard conjecture. This is an application of a more general result, stating that certain Lagrangian fibrations verify this conjecture. The main technical assumption of this general result is that the Lagrangian fibration satisfies
