Abstract

Let Mg,n{\mathcal M}_{g,n} denote the moduli space of smooth, genus g1g\geq 1 curves with n0n\geq 0 marked points. Let Ah{\mathcal A}_h denote the moduli space of hh-dimensional, principally polarized abelian varieties. Let g3g\geq 3 and hgh\leq g. If F:Mg,nAhF:{\mathcal M}_{g,n}\to{\mathcal A}_h is a nonconstant holomorphic map then h=gh=g and FF is the classical period mapping, assigning to a Riemann surface XX its Jacobian.
