A note on Griffiths infinitesimal invariant for curves

Abstract

Given a generic curve of genus g4g\geqslant4 and a smooth point LWg11(C)L\in W_{g-1}^{1}(C), whose linear system is base-point free, we consider the Abel-Jacobi normal function associated to L2ωC1L^{\otimes 2}\otimes \omega_{C}^{-1}, when (C,L)(C,L) varies in moduli. We prove that its infinitesimal invariant reconstruct the couple (C,L)(C,L). When g=4g=4, we obtain the generic Torelli theorem proved by Griffiths.
