We prove that the ramified Prym map $\mathcal P_{g, r}$ which sends a covering $\pi:D\longrightarrow C$ ramified in $r$ points to the Prym variety $P(\pi):=\text{Ker}(\text{Nm}_{\pi})$ is an embedding for all $r\ge 6$ and for all $g(C)>0$.…

If $\pi: Y \to X$ is an unramified double cover of a smooth curve of genus $g$, then the Prym variety $P_\pi$ is a principally polarized abelian variety of dimension $g-1$. When $X$ is defined over an algebraically closed field $k$ of…

In this paper we prove that the Prym map, from the space of double coverings of a curve of genus g with r branch points to the moduli space of abelian varieties, is generically injective if r>6 and g>1, r=6 and g>2, r=4 and g>4, r=2 and…

Let p:C' -> C be an unramified double covering of irreducible smooth curves and let P be the attached Prym variety. We prove the schematic theta-dual equalities in the Prym variety T(C')=V^2 and T(V^2)=C', where V^2 is the Brill-Noether…

In this paper we consider the Prym map for double coverings of curves of genus $g$ ramified at $r>0$ points. That is, the map associating to a double ramified covering its Prym variety. The generic Torelli theorem states that the Prym map…

The Prym map assigns to each covering of curves a polarized abelian variety. In the case of unramified cyclic covers of curves of genus two, we show that the Prym map is ramified precisely on the locus of bielliptic covers. The key…

In this paper, we study the Prym map associated to degree 4 \'etale cyclic covers of genus $g$ hyperelliptic curves restricted to the irreducible component $\mathcal{RH}_g[4]^{hyp}$ of the moduli space of such covers where an intermediate…

Given an \'etale double covering $\pi\, :\, \widetilde{C}\, \longrightarrow\, C$ of compact Riemannsurfaces with $C$ of genus at least two, we use the Prym variety of the cover to construct canonical projective structures on both…

In order to calculate the multiplicity of an isolated rational curve C in a local complete intersection variety X, i.e. the length of the Hilbert scheme of X at [C], it is important to study infinitesimal neighborhoods of the curve in X.…

The Prym variety for a branched double covering of a nonsingular projective curve is defined as a polarized abelian variety. We prove that any double covering of an elliptic curve which has more than $4$ branch points is recovered from its…

We prove that the Prym map corresponding to \'etale cyclic coverings of hyperelliptic curves is injective whenever the degree of the covering $d \geq 6$ is not a power of an odd prime. For other degrees $d\geq 9$, we show that the Prym map…
