Some equations for the universal Kummer variety

Algebraic Geometry 2013-07-18 v2

Abstract

We give a method to find quartic Heisenberg invariant equations for Kummer varieties and we give some explicit examples. From these equations for g-dimensional Kummer varieties one obtains equations for the moduli space of g+1-dimensional Kummer varieties. These again define modular forms which vanish on the period matrices of Riemann surfaces. The modular forms that we find for g=5 appear to be new and of lower weight than known before.
