A note on multisecants of the Kummer variety of a Jacobian

Algebraic Geometry 2025-05-07 v3

Abstract

We show that if CC is a smooth projective curve and d\mathfrak{d} is a g2nn\mathfrak{g}^{n}_{2n} on CC, then we obtain a rational map Symn(C)d\mathrm{Sym}^{n}(C)\dashrightarrow\mathfrak{d} whose fibers can be related in an interesting way to Gunning multisecants of the Kummer variety of JCJC. This generalizes previous work done by the first author with Codogni and Salvati Manni.
