We introduce endomorphisms of special jacobians and show that they satisfy polynomial equations with all integer roots which we compute. The eigen-abelian varieties for these endomorphisms are generalizations of Prym-Tjurin varieties and…
An abelian variety admits only a finite number of isomorphism classes of principal polarizations. The paper gives an interpretation of this number in terms of class numbers of definite Hermitian forms in the case of a product of elliptic…
We present a new technique to study Jacobian variety decompositions using subgroups of the automorphism group of the curve and the corresponding intermediate covers. In particular, this new method allows us to produce many new examples of…
In this paper we study principally polarized complex abelian varieties that admit an automorphism of order 3. It turns out that certain natural conditions on the multiplicities of its action on the differentials of the first kind do…
We introduce the notion of tropical curves of hyperelliptic type. These are tropical curves whose Jacobian is isomorphic to that of a hyperelliptic tropical curve, as polarized tropical abelian varieties. We show that this property depends…
We study the set of isomorphism classes of principal polarizations on abelian varieties of GL2-type. As applications of our results, we construct examples of curves C, C'/\Q of genus two which are nonisomorphic over \bar \Q and share…
We prove that the cohomology class of any curve on a very general principally polarized abelian variety of dimension at least 4 is an even multiple of the minimal class. The same holds for the intermediate Jacobian of a very general cubic…
The Narasimhan-Nori conjecture asks for a closed formula for the number of non-isomorphic principal polarizations of any given abelian variety. In this paper, we introduce a new algorithm that gives a lower bound on the number of…
We prove that, under certain conditions, the existence of a curve of $(m+2)$-secants to the Kummer variety of an indecomposable principally polarized abelian variety $X$, represents $m$-times the minimal cohomological class in $X$. In the…
In this paper we study principally polarized abelian varieties that admit an automorphism of prime order $p>2$. It turns out that certain natural conditions on the multiplicities of its action on the differentials of the first kind do…
The degree of a curve $C$ in a polarized abelian variety $(X,\lambda)$ is the integer $d=C\cdot\lambda$. When $C$ generates $X$, we find a lower bound on $d$ which depends on $n$ and the degree of the polarization $\lambda$. The smallest…
We characterize possible periodic subvarieties for surjective endomorphisms of complex abelian varieties in terms of the eigenvalues of the cohomological actions induced by the endomorphisms, extending previous work in this direction by…
We examine \'etale covers of genus two curves that occur in the linear system of a polarizing line bundle of type $(1,d)$ on a complex abelian surface. We give results counting fixed points of involutions on such curves as well as…
We give new examples of algebraic integral cohomology classes on smooth projective complex varieties that are not integral linear combinations of classes of smooth subvarieties. Some of our examples have dimension 6, the lowest possible.…
The main purpose of this paper is to give an overview over the theory of abelian varieties, with main focus on Jacobian varieties of curves reaching from well-known results till to latest developments and their usage in cryptography. In the…
In this paper, we study principally polarized abelian varieties $X$ of dimension $g$ that contain a curve $\nu:C\to X$ such that the class of $C$ is $m$ times the minimal class. Welters introduced the formalism of stable pairs to handle…
In this survey of works on a characterization of Jacobians and Prym varieties among indecomposable principally polarized abelian varieties via the soliton theory we focus on a certain circle of ideas and methods which show that the…
We introduce and study a new way to catagorize supersingular abelian varieties defined over a finite field by classifying them as fully maximal, mixed, or fully minimal. The type of $A$ depends on the normalized Weil numbers of $A$ and its…
We show that isomorphisms of fundamental groups of elementary anabelian varieties -- varieties obtained as iterated fibrations of hyperbolic curves -- over sub-$p$-adic fields correspond bijectively to isomorphisms of varieties. Moreover,…
We determine the maximal dimension of compact subvarieties of $\mathcal{A}_g$, the moduli space of complex principally polarized abelian varieties of dimension $g$, and the maximal dimension of a compact subvariety through a very general…
