We prove that the intermediate Jacobian of the Klein quartic $3$-fold $X$ is not isomorphic, as a principally polarized abelian variety, to a product of Jacobians of curves. As corollaries we deduce (using a criterion of Clemens-Griffiths)…
Let C be an integral projective curve in any characteristic. Given an invertible sheaf L on C of degree 1, form the associated Abel map A_L : C -> P, which maps C into its compactified Jacobian scheme P, and form its pullback map A_L^* :…
We show that the Jacobians of prestable curves over toroidal varieties always admit N\'eron models. These models are rarely quasi-compact or separated, but we also give a complete classification of quasi-compact separated group-models of…
We characterize stable curves $X$ whose compactified degree-$d$ Jacobian is of N\'eron type. This means the following: for any one-parameter regular smoothing of $X$, the special fiber of the N\'eron model of the Jacobian of the generic…
We give a short new computation of the quantum cohomology of an arbitrary smooth toric variety $X$, by showing directly that the Kodaira-Spencer map of Fukaya-Oh-Ohta-Ono defines an isomorphism onto a suitable Jacobian ring. The proof is…
Let $X$ (resp. $Y$) be a curve of genus 1 (resp. 2) over a base field $k$ whose characteristic does not equal 2. We give criteria for the existence of a curve $Z$ over $k$ whose Jacobian is up to twist (2,2,2)-isogenous to the products of…
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…
Let $k$ be a field of characteristic zero containing a primitive fifth root of unity. Let $X/k$ be a smooth cubic threefold with an automorphism of order five, then we observe that over a finite extension of the field actually the dihedral…
We show that relative compactified Jacobians of one-parameter smoothings of a nodal curve of genus g are Mumford models of the generic fiber. Each such model is given by an admissible polytopal decomposition of the skeleton of the Jacobian.…
We show that any Jacobi field along a harmonic map from the 2-sphere to the complex projective plane is integrable (i.e., is tangent to a smooth variation through harmonic maps). This provides one of the few known answers to this problem of…
We study Esteves's fine compactified Jacobians for nodal curves. We give a proof of the fact that, for a one-parameter regular local smoothing of a nodal curve $X$, the relative smooth locus of a relative fine compactified Jacobian is…
This paper studies the local geometry of compactified Jacobians constructed by Caporaso, Oda-Seshadri, Pandharipande, and Simpson. The main result is a presentation of the completed local ring of the compactified Jacobian of a nodal curve…
For every point on the Jacobian of the modular curve $X_0(l)$ we define and study certain twisted holomorphic Eisenstein series. These are particular cases of a more general notion of twisted modular forms which correspond to sections on…
A geometric representation is found for the previously obtained path integral reduction Jacobian in Wiener-type path integral when quantizing a model mechanical system, which is used to describe the motion of two interacting scalar…
Let $\Theta$ be a symmetric theta divisor on an indecomposable principally polarized complex abelian variety $X$. The linear system $|2\Theta |$ defines a morphism $K:X\ra |2\Theta |^*$, whose image is the Kummer variety $K(X)$ of $X$. When…
The geometrical representation of the path integral reduction Jacobian obtained in the problem of the path integral quantization of a scalar particle motion on a smooth compact Riemannian manifold with the given free isometric action of the…
The Abel Jacobi theorem is an important result of algebraic geometry. The theory of divisors and the Riemann bilinear relations are fundamental to the developement of this result: if a point O is fixed in a Riemann compact surface X of…
The Jacobian conjecture in dimension $n$ asserts that any polynomial endomorphism of $n$-dimensional affine space over a field of zero characteristic, with the Jacobian equal 1, is invertible. The Dixmier conjecture in rank $n$ asserts that…
We present a treatment of the algebraic description of the Jacobian of a generic genus two plane curve which exploits an SL2(k) equivariance and clarifes the structure of E.V.Flynn's 72 defining quadratic relations. The treatment is also…
We investigate the relations between the syzygies of the Jacobian ideal of the defining equation for a projective hypersurface $V$ with isolated singularities and the Torelli properties of $V$ (in the sense of Dolgachev-Kapranov). We show…
