We relate a part of the abelian etale fundamental group of curves over local fields to the component group of the Neron model of the jacobian. We apply the result to the modular curve X_0(p)/Q_p to show that the unramified abelian covering…
We describe a method for computing the Cassels-Tate pairing on the 2-Selmer group of the Jacobian of a genus 2 curve. This can be used to improve the upper bound coming from 2-descent for the rank of the group of rational points on the…
We study curves on the product of two $K$-trivial surfaces. In the case of the product of two very general abelian surfaces $A_1\times A_2$, we prove that the minimal genus of a non-trivial curve on $A_1\times A_2$ is $6$.
We consider the cohomology of local systems on the moduli space of curves of genus 2 and the moduli space of abelian surfaces. We give an explicit formula for the Eisenstein cohomology and a conjectural formula for the endoscopic…
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…
Let $\mathcal X$ be a genus 2 curve defined over a field $K$, $\mbox{char} K = p \geq 0$, and $\mbox{Jac} (\mathcal X, \iota)$ its Jacobian, where $\iota$ is the principal polarization of $\mbox{Jac} (\mathcal X)$ attached to $\mathcal X$.…
We revisit and generalize some geometric techniques behind deterministic primality testing for some integer sequences using curves of genus 1 over finite rings. Subsequently we develop a similar primality test using the Jacobian of a genus…
The strata of the moduli spaces of Abelian differentials are non-homogenous spaces carrying natural bi-algebraic structures. Partly inspired by the case of homogenous spaces carrying bi-algebraic structures (such as torii, Abelian varieties…
Let $C/k$ be a smooth curve over a finite field of characteristic $p>0$. We prove that there are finitely many principally polarized abelian schemes of given dimension $g$ over $C$ up to $p$-power isogeny. For curves over $\overline{k}$, we…
The paper discusses geometric and computational aspects associated with $(n,n)$-isogenies for principally polarized Abelian surfaces and related Kummer surfaces. We start by reviewing the comprehensive Theta function framework for…
This is a slightly revised version of the author's 2010 diploma thesis. It is concerned with the interplay between real multiplication on Jacobian varieties, as the title suggests, and complex geodesics in the moduli space of curves. Large…
We identify several classes of curves $C:f=0$, for which the Hilbert vector of the Jacobian module $N(f)$ can be completely determined, namely the 3-syzygy curves, the maximal Tjurina curves and the nodal curves, having only rational…
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…
We explain how one can efficiently determine the (finite) set of rational points on a curve of genus 2 over $\mathbb Q$ with Jacobian variety $J$, given a point $P \in J(\mathbb Q)$ generating a subgroup of finite index in $J(\mathbb Q)$.
We define a pro-$p$ Abelian sheaf on a modular curve of a fixed level $N \geq 5$ divisible by a prime number $p \neq 2$. Every $p$-adic representation of $\text{Gal}(\overline{\mathbb{Q}}/\mathbb{Q})$ associated to an eigenform is obtained…
We study the Kodaira dimension of Kuga varieties $\mathcal{X}^n_p$ associated to the moduli spaces $\mathcal{A}_p$ of $(1, p)$-polarised abelian surfaces with level structure for prime $p \geq 3$.
We give a detailed analysis of the semisimple elements, in the sense of Vinberg, of the third exterior power of a 9-dimensional vector space over an algebraically closed field of characteristic different from 2 and 3. To a general such…
We study singular curves from analytic point of view. We give completely analytic proofs for the Serre duality and a generalized Abel's theorem. We also reconsider Picard varieties, Albanese varieties and generalized Jacobi varieties of…
A closed Riemann surface $S$ is called a generalized Fermat curve of type $(p,n)$, where $p,n \geq 2$ are integers, if it admits a group $H \cong {\mathbb Z}_{p}^{n}$ of conformal automorphisms so that $S/H$ is an orbifold of genus zero…
In a previous paper, the authors proved that the Prym variety of any non-cyclic etale triple cover of a smooth curve of genus 2 is a Jacobian variety of dimension 2. This gives a map from the moduli space of such covers to the moduli space…
