Abstract

To any unramified double cover π:C~C\pi:\tilde C \to C of projective irreducible and nonsingular curves one associates the Prym variety P=P(π)P = P(\pi). For CC nonhyperelliptic of genus g6g \geq 6 we consider the natural embedding C~P\tilde C \subset P (defined up to translation) of C~\tilde C into PP and we study the local structure of the Hilbert scheme HilbPHilb^P of PP at the point [C~][\tilde C]. We show that this structure is related with the local geometry of the Prym map, or more precisely with the validity of the infinitesimal version of Torelli's theorem for Pryms at [π][\pi]
