Counting polarizations on abelian varieties with group action

Algebraic Geometry 2024-12-03 v1

Abstract

Let Ag\mathcal{A}_g be the moduli space of principally polarized abelian varieties. We study the problem of counting the number of principal polarizations modulo the natural action of the automorphism group of the abelian variety on a very general element of a positive dimensional component of Sing(Ag)\mathrm{Sing}(\mathcal{A}_g), and show that this number is not always 1.
