Coble duality for Jacobian Kummer fourfolds

Algebraic Geometry 2025-05-28 v2

Abstract

We study projective models of generalized Kummer fourfolds via O'Grady's theta groups and the classical Coble cubic. More precisely, we establish a duality between two singular models of the generalized Kummer fourfold of a Jacobian abelian surface. We also give projective models for singular Jacobian Kummer varieties of arbitrary dimension. Along the way, we also construct a first non-natural involution on the Hilbert square of a Jacobian surface. In the appendix, we study singularities of secants of arbitrary varieties at identifiable points, following Choi, Lacini, Park and Sheridan.
