Abstract

We give criteria for the Jacobian of a singular curve XX with at most ordinary nn-point singularities to be anti-affine. In particular, for the case of curves with single ordinary double point we exhibit a relation with torsion divisors. If the geometric genus of the singular curve is atleast 3 and the normalization is non-hyperelliptic and non-bielliptic, then except for finitely many cases the Jacobian of XX is anti-affine. Furthermore, if the normalization is a general curve of genus atleast 3 then the Jacobian of XX is always anti-affine.
