We exhibit a non-hyperelliptic curve C of genus 3 such that the class of the Ceresa cycle [C]-[(-1)*C] in JC modulo algebraic equivalence is torsion.

Given a smooth non-hyperelliptic curve C of genus 3 and a maximal isotropic subgroup (w.r.t. the Weil pairing) L in Jac(C)[2], there exists a smooth curve C' s.t. Jac(C')=Jac(C)/L. This construction is symmetric. i.e. if we start with C'…

In this paper, we study non-hyperelliptic curves of genus $3$ with cyclic automorphism group of order $6$. Over an algebraically closed field $K$ of characteristic $\neq 2,3$, such curves are written as plane quartics $C_r: x^3 z + y^4 + r…

Our main result is an effective version of the Torelli theorem in genus $3$ and any characteristic not $2$: the configuration of the odd theta characteristics of a curve $C$ of genus $3$ determines a del Pezzo surface $S$ of degree two and…

In this paper we prove new explicit formulas for Faltings' $\delta$-invariant of an arbitrary hyperelliptic Riemann surface. This has several applications: For example we obtain an explicit lower bound for $\delta$ depending only on the…

We prove that the geometric genus p of a curve in a very generic Jacobian of dimension g>3 satisfies either p=g or p>2g-3. This gives a positive answer to a conjecture of Naranjo and Pirola. For low values of g the second inequality can be…

We derive a formula for reconstructing a generic complex canonical curve $C$ of genus 6 and 7 in terms of the theta hyperplanes of $C$. Hence, we get a generic inverse to the Torelli map, as well as a complete description of the Schottky…

Using an explicit family of plane quartic curves, we prove the existence of a genus 3 curve over any finite field of characteristic 3 whose number of rational points stays within a fixed distance from the Hasse-Weil-Serre upper bound. We…

We compute the class of the closure of the locus of hyperelliptic curves in the moduli space of stable genus-3 curves in terms of the tautological class $\lambda$ and the boundary classes $\delta_0$ and $\delta_1$. The expression of this…

We exhibit a non-hyperelliptic curve C of genus 3 such that the class of the Ceresa cycle [C]-[-C] in the intermediate Jacobian of JC is torsion.

Let $(\mathbf{M}^{3},J,\theta_{0})$ be a closed pseudohermitian 3-manifold. Suppose the associated torsion vanishes and the associated $Q$-curvature has no kernel part with respect to the associated Paneitz operator. On such a background…

We prove that for any pair of integers 0\leq r\leq g such that g\geq 3 or r>0, there exists a (hyper)elliptic curve C over F_2 of genus g and 2-rank r whose automorphism group consists of only identity and the (hyper)elliptic involution. As…

We show that the Ceresa cycle $\kappa(C_t)$ of the genus $3$ curve $C_t \colon y^3 = x^4 + 2tx^2 + 1$ is torsion if and only if $Q_t=( \sqrt[3]{t^2 -1},t)$ is a torsion point on the elliptic curve $y^2 = x^3 + 1$. This shows that there are…

We shall study the structure of hyperelliptic fibrations of genus 3, from the view point given by Catanese and Pignatelli in arXiv:math/0503294. In this part I, we shall give a structure theorem for such fibrations for the case of f : S \to…

Up to isomorphism over C, every simple principally polarized abelian variety of dimension 3 is the Jacobian of a smooth projective curve of genus 3. Furthermore, this curve is either a hyperelliptic curve or a plane quartic. Given a sextic…

Let k=F_q be a finite field of characteristic 2. A genus 3 curve C/k has many involutions if the group of k-automorphisms admits a C_2\times C_2 subgroup H (not containing the hyperelliptic involution if C is hyperelliptic). Then C is an…

We study the fluctuations in the distribution of zeros of zeta functions of a family of hyperelliptic curves defined over a fixed finite field, in the limit of large genus. According to the Riemann Hypothesis for curves, the zeros all lie…

In this paper we study bielliptic curves of genus 3 defined over an algebraically closed field $k$ and the intersection of the moduli space $\M_3^b$ of such curves with the hyperelliptic moduli $\H_3$. Such intersection $\S$ is an…
