The Schottky Problem
Algebraic Geometry
2010-10-01 v2
Abstract
In this survey we discuss some of the classical and modern methods in studying the (Riemann-)Schottky problem, the problem of characterizing Jacobians of curves among principally polarized abelian varieties. We present many of the recent results in this subject, and describe some directions of current research. This paper is based on the talk given at the "Classical algebraic geometry today" workshop at MSRI in January 2009.
