Abstract

We prove that for any two integers g4g\geq 4 and g2g1g'\leq 2g-1, there exist abelian varieties over Q\overline{\mathbb{Q}} which are not quotients of a Jacobian of dimension gg'. Our method in fact proves that most Abelian varieties satisfy this property, when counting by height relative to a fixed finite map to projective space.
