In this paper we introduce the notion of infinite dimensional Jacobi structure to describe the geometrical structure of a class of nonlocal Hamiltonian systems which appear naturally when applying reciprocal transformations to Hamiltonian…

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 $K$ be a number field, $n>4$ an integer, $f(x)$ an irreducible polynomial over $K$ of degree $n$, whose Galois group is either the full symmetric group $S_n$ or the alternating group $A_n$. Suppose $C:y^2=f(x)$ is the corresponding…

Looking for a geometric framework to study plectic Heegner points, we define a collection of abelian varieties - called plectic Jacobians - using the middle degree cohomology of quaternionic Shimura varieties (QSVs). The construction is…

We give explicit formulas for the number of distinct elliptic curves over a finite field, up to isomorphism, in the families of Legendre, Jacobi, Hessian and generalized Hessian curves.

This paper is concerned with some Algebraic Geometry codes on Jacobians of genus 2 curves. We derive a lower bound for the minimum distance of these codes from an upper "Weil type" bound for the number of rational points on irreducible…

Given a curve of genus 3 with an unramified double cover, we give an explicit description of the associated Prym-variety. We also describe how an unramified double cover of a non-hyperelliptic genus 3 curve can be mapped into the Jacobian…

We prove Welter's trisecant conjecture: an indecomposable principally polarized abelian variety $X$ is the Jacobian of a curve if and only if there exists a trisecant of its Kummer variety $K(X)$.

We construct a three-parameter family of non-hyperelliptic and bielliptic plane genus-three curves whose associated Prym variety is two-isogenous to the Jacobian variety of a general hyperelliptic genus-two curve. Our construction is based…

We propose a conjectural explicit isogeny from the Jacobians of hyperelliptic Drinfeld modular curves to the Jacobians of hyperelliptic modular curves of $\mathcal{D}$-elliptic sheaves. The kernel of the isogeny is a subgroup of the…

In this note, an analogous statement to the Nagell-Lutz theorem does not hold for the Jacobian of a certain curve of genus 2 over $\mathbb{C}(t)$. As a by-product, we give a (2, 3, 6) quasi-torus decomposition for the dual curve of a smooth…

We construct the canonical structure of an irreducible projective variety on the set of connected curves of degree $d$ in $\Bbb P^n$ with rational components (some components can be multiple). The set of rational curves is open subset in…

We describe all the elliptic fibrations with section on the Kummer surface X of the Jacobian of a very general curve C of genus 2 over an algebraically closed field of characteristic 0, modulo the automorphism group of X and the symmetric…

We refine and generalize the results of K. E. Lauter and E. W. Howe on principal polarizations on products of abelian varieties over finite fields. Firstly, we study the reasons for the absence of an irreducible principal polarization in…

We gives an explicit genus 3 curve over Q such that the Galois action on the torsion points of its Jacobian is a large as possible. That such curves exist is a consequence of a theorem of D. Zureick-Brown and the author; however, those…

We give a criterion to distinguish between a genus three Jacobian and its [-1] twist in terms of the product of the 36 even theta nulls. We also express the product of the 36 theta nulls in terms of the discriminant of a genus three curve.…

Let $C$ be a curve of genus 2 and $\psi_1:C \lar E_1$ a map of degree $n$, from $C$ to an elliptic curve $E_1$, both curves defined over $\bC$. This map induces a degree $n$ map $\phi_1:\bP^1 \lar \bP^1$ which we call a Frey-Kani covering.…

Given a field $k$ of characteristic different from $2$ and an integer $d \geq 3$, let $J$ be the Jacobian of the "generic" hyperelliptic curve given by $y^2 = \prod_{i = 1}^d (x - \alpha_i)$, where the $\alpha_i$'s are transcendental and…

We give two constructions of families of elliptic curves over cubic or quartic fields with three, respectively four, `integral' elements in the kernel of the tame symbol on the curves. The fields are in general non-Abelian, and the elements…

The compactified Jacobian of any projective curve $X$ is defined as the Simpson moduli space of torsion free rank one degree $d$ sheaves that are semistable with respect to a fixed polarization $H$ on $X$. In this paper we give explicitly…
