In this note we give explicit constructions of decomposable hyperelliptic Jacobian varieties over fields of characteristic $0$. These include hyperelliptic Jacobian varieties that are isogenous to a product of two absolutely simple…

We study the family of algebraic curves of genus $\geq 1$ defined by the affine equations $y^s=ax^r+b$ over a number field $k$, where $r \geq 2$ and $s\geq 2$ are fixed integers. Assuming the strong version of Lang's conjecture on varieties…

We introduce jacobian graphs, which are explicit families of regular graphs that are spectrally indistinguishable from random graphs, but whose local structure is very different from that of random graphs. The construction relies on the…

Fay's trisecant formula shows that the Kummer variety of the Jacobian of a smooth projective curve has a four dimensional family of trisecant lines. We study when these lines intersect the theta divisor of the Jacobian, and prove that the…

In sub-Riemannian geometry the coefficients of the Jacobi equation define curvature-like invariants. We show that these coefficients can be interpreted as the curvature of a canonical Ehresmann connection associated to the metric, first…

The refined Humbert invariant is a positive definite quadratic form intrinsically attached to a curve $C$ of genus 2. This invariant is an algebraic generalization of the (usual) Humbert invariant. This invariant is useful because many…

There are two types of involutions on a cubic threefold: the Eckardt type (which has been studied by the first named and the third named authors) and the non-Eckardt type. Here we study cubic threefolds with a non-Eckardt type involution,…

We show that the iterated images of a Jacobian pair stabilize; that is, the k-th iterates of a polynomial map of complex two-space to itself with a nonzero constant Jacobian determinant all have the same image for sufficiently large k. More…

We study the Jacobian conjecture for Keller maps $f:X_0:=\mathbf{A}^n\rightarrow Y_0:=\mathbf{A}^n$ in characteristic $0$ and attempt to prove it. We are quite aware of the fact that many people have tried to prove the Jacobian conjecture…

We prove that in most cases relevant to cryptography, the Frobenius endomorphism on the Jacobian of a genus two curve is represented by a diagonal matrix with respect to an appropriate basis of the subgroup of l-torsion points. From this…

The two-dimensional Jacobian Conjecture says that a $\mathbb{C}$-algebra endomorphism $F:\mathbb{C}[x,y] \to \mathbb{C}[x,y]$ that has an invertible Jacobian is an automorphism. We show that if a $\mathbb{C}$-algebra endomorphism…

We compute all the "special" cases of (3,3)-split Jacobians and we parametrize the Igusa-Clebsch invariants of curves of genus two whose Jacobian is (3,3)-isogenous to a product of two elliptic curves from the Hesse pencil.

In this paper we study genus 2 curves whose Jacobians admit a polarized (4,4)-isogeny to a product of elliptic curves. We consider base fields of characteristic different from 2 and 3, which we do not assume to be algebraically closed. We…

We construct and study two series of curves whose Jacobians admit complex multiplication. The curves arise as quotients of Galois coverings of the projective line with Galois group metacyclic groups $G_{q,3}$ of order $3q$ with $q \equiv 1…

For a class of non-hyperelliptic genus 3 curves C which are 2-fold coverings of elliptic curves E, we give an explicit algebraic description of all birationally non-equivalent genus 2 curves whose Jacobians are degree 2 isogeneous to the…

We reformulate the notion of a Jacobi algebroid in terms of weighted odd Jacobi brackets. We then show how a Jacobi algebroid can be understood in terms of a kind of curved Q-manifold. In particular the homological condition on the odd…

The recent extensive work on different approaches to the Schottky problem has produced marked progress on several fronts. At the same time, it has become apparent that there exist very close connections between the various characterizations…

This is (mostly) a survey article. We use an information about Galois properties of points of small order on an abelian variety in order to describe its endomorphism algebra over an algebraic closure of the ground field. We discuss in…

The famous Jacobian conjecture asks if an endomorphism $f$ of $K[x,y]$ ($K$ is a characteristic zero field) having a non-zero scalar Jacobian is invertible. Let $\alpha$ be the exchange involution on $K[x,y]$: $\alpha(x)= y$ and $\alpha(y)=…

We give a geometric interpretation of the group law for Jacobian varieties by extending the geometric construction of chords and tangents on an elliptic curve. For any given algebraic curve $\mathcal X$ and reduced divisors $D_1, D_2 \in…
