Prym curves with a vanishing theta-null

Algebraic Geometry 2021-02-09 v1

Abstract

If the theta-null divisor Θnull\Theta_{\rm null} is moved to the Prym moduli space through the diagram Sg+MgRg\mathcal{S}_{g}^{+}\rightarrow\mathcal{M}_{g}\leftarrow\mathcal{R}_{g}, it splits into two irreducible components P ⁣null+\mathcal{P}_{\rm\! null}^{+} and P ⁣null\mathcal{P}_{\rm\! null}^{-}. Using test curve techniques, we compute the class of the closure of each of these components in terms of the generating classes of Pic(Rg)Q\mathrm{Pic}(\overline{\mathcal{R}}_{g})_{\mathbb{Q}}.
