On the image of code polynomials under theta map

Number Theory 2008-04-01 v1 Algebraic Geometry

Abstract

The theta map sends code polynomials into the ring of Siegel modular forms of even weights. Explicit description of the image is known for g3g\leq 3 and the surjectivity of the theta map follows. Instead it is known that this map is not surjective for g5g\geq 5. In this paper we discuss the possibility of an embedding between the associated projective varieties. We prove that this is not possible for g4g\geq 4 and consequently we get the non surjectivity of the graded rings for the remaining case g=4g=4.
