Prym Varieties of Tropical Plane Quintics

Frizzell, Carrie January 1900 (has links)
Master of Science / Department of Mathematics / Ilia Zharkov / When considering an unramified double cover π: C’→ C of nonsingular algebraic curves, the Prym variety (P; θ) of the cover arises from the sheet exchange involution of C’ via extension to the Jacobian J(C’). The Prym is defined to be the anti-invariant (odd) part of this induced map on J(C’), and it carries twice a principal polarization of J(C’). The pair (P; θ), where θ is a representative of a theta divisor of J(C’) on P, makes the Prym a candidate for the Jacobian of another curve. In 1974, David Mumford proved that for an unramified double cover π : C’η →C of a plane quintic curve, where η is a point of order two in J(C), then the Prym (P; θ) is not a Jacobian if the theta characteristic L(η) is odd, L the hyperplane section. We sought to find an analog of Mumford's result in the tropical geometry setting. We consider the Prym variety of certain unramified double covers of three types of tropical plane quintics. Applying the theory of lattice dicings, which give affine invariants of the Prym lattice, we found that when the parity α(H3) is even, H3 the cycle associated to the hyperplane section and the analog to η in the classical setting, then the Prym is not a Jacobian, and is a Jacobian when the parity is odd.

Theta-duality in abelian varieties and the bicanonical map of irregular varieties

Lahoz Vilalta, Marti 18 May 2010 (has links)
The first goal of this Thesis is to contribute to the study of principally polarized abelian varieties (ppav), especially to the Schottky and the Torelli problems. Ppav admit a duality theory analogous to that of projective spaces, where the role played by hyperplanes in projective spaces is played by divisors representing the principal polarization. Thus, given a subvariety Y of a ppav, we can define its thetadual T(Y) as the set of divisors representing the principal polarization that contain this subvariety. This set admits a natural schematic structure (as defined by Pareschi and Popa). Jacobian and Prym varieties are classical examples of ppav constructed from curves. Besides, they are interesting because some properties of the curves involved in their construction are reflected in their geometry or in the geometry of some special subvarieties. For example, in the case of Jacobians we have the BrillNoether loci Wd ( W1 corresponds to the AbelJacobi curve) and in the case of Pryms we have the AbelPrym curve C. In chapter III, we study the schematic structure of the thetadual of the BrillNoether loci Wd and the AbelPrym curve. In the first case, we obtain with different methods, the result of Pareschi and Popa T(Wd)= Wgd1. In the case of the AbelPrym curve C, we get that T(C)=V², where V² is the second PrymBrillNoether locus with the schematic structure defined by Welters. Pareschi and Popa have proved a result for ppavs analogous to the Castelnuovo Lemma for projective spaces. That is, if (A,Θ) is a ppav of dimension g, then g+2 distinct points in general position with respect to Θ, but in special position with respect to 2Θ, have to be contained in a curve of minimal degree in A, i.e. an AbelJacobi curve. In particular, they obtain a Schottky result because A has to be a Jacobian variety and a Torelli result, because the curve is the intersection of all the divisors in |2Θ| that contain the g+2 points. In chapter IV, as Eisenbud and Harris have done in the projective Castelnuovo Lemma, we extend this result to possibly nonreduced finite schemes. The second goal of this thesis is the study of varieties of general type. Almost by definition, pluricanonical maps are the essential tool to study them. One of the main problems in this area is to find geometric or numerical conditions to guarantee that the mth pluricanonical map (for low m) induces a birational equivalence with its image. The classification of surfaces whose bicanonical map is nonbirational has attracted considerable interest among algebraic geometers. In chapter V, we give a sufficient numerical condition for the birationality of the bicanonical map of irregular varieties of arbitrary dimension. We also prove that, if X is a primitive variety, then it only admits very special fibrations to other irregular varieties. For primitive varieties we get that the following are equivalent: X is birational to a divisor Θ in an indecomposable ppav, the irregularity q(X) > dim X and the bicanonical map is nonbirational. When X is a primitive variety of general type and q(X) = dim X we prove, under certain conditions over the Stein factorization of the Albanese map, that the only possibility for the bicanonical map being nonbirational is that X is a double cover branched along a divisor in |2Θ|. These results extend to arbitrary dimension, wellknown theorems in the case of surfaces and curves. / El primer objectiu d'aquesta tesi és contribuir a l'estudi de les varietats abelianes principalment polaritzades (vapp), especialment als problemes de Schottky i Torelli. Les vapp admeten una teoria de dualitat anàloga a la dualitat dels espais projectius, on el paper que juguen els hiperplans de l'espai projectiu és substituït pels divisors que representen la polarització principal. Així doncs, donada una subvarietat Y d'una vapp, podem definir el seu thetadual T(Y) com el conjunt dels divisors que representen la polarització principal i contenen aquesta subvarietat. Aquest conjunt admet una estructura esquemàtica natural (tal i com la defineixen Pareschi i Popa). Les varietats Jacobianes i de Prym són exemples clàssics de vapp construïdes a partir de corbes. A més, són interessants perquè certes propietats de les corbes involucrades es veuen reflectides en elles o en algunes subvarietats especials. Per exemple, en el cas de les Jacobianes tenim els llocs de BrillNoether Wd ( W1 correspon a la corba d'AbelJacobi) i en el cas de les Pryms tenim la corba d'AbelPrym C. Al capítol III de la tesi s'estudia l'estructura esquemàtica del thetadual dels llocs de BrillNoether Wd i de la corba d'AbelPrym. En el primer cas, es reobté amb uns altres mètodes, el resultat de Pareschi i Popa T(Wd)= Wgd1. En el cas de la corba d'AbelPrym C, s'obté que T(C)=V², onV² és el segon lloc de PrymBrillNoether amb l'estructura esquemàtica definida per Welters. Pareschi i Popa han demostrat un resultat anàleg per les vapp al Lemma de Castelnuovo pels espais projectius. És a dir, si (A,Θ) és una vapp de dimensió g, aleshores g+2 punts en posició general respecte Θ, però en posició especial respecte 2Θ, han d'estar continguts en una corba de grau minimal a A, i.e. una corba d'AbelJacobi. En particular, s'obté un resultat de Schottky ja que A ha de ser una Jacobiana i un resultat de Torelli, ja que la corba és la intersecció de tots els divisors de |2Θ| que contenen els g+2 punts. Al capítol IV, tal i com Eisenbud i Harris van fer en el cas projectiu, s'estén aquest resultat a esquemes finits possiblement no reduïts. El segon objectiu d'aquesta tesi és contribuir a l'estudi de les varietats de tipus general. Pràcticament per definició, les aplicacions pluricanòniques són essencials pel seu estudi. Un dels problemes principals de l'àrea és donar condicions geomètriques o numèriques per assegurar que la mèsima aplicació pluricanònica (per m baix) indueix una equivalència biracional amb la imatge. La classificació de les superfícies que tenen l'aplicació bicanònica no biracional ha atret l'atenció de molts geòmetres algebraics. Al capítol V, es dóna un criteri numèric suficient per assegurar la biracionalitat de l'aplicació bicanònica de les varietats irregulars de dimensió arbitrària. També es demostra que si X és una varietat primitiva, aleshores només admet fibracions molt especials a altres varietats irregulars. Per aquestes varietats s'obté que és equivalent que X sigui biracional a un divisor Θ en una vapp indescomponible, a què la irregularitat q(X) > dim X i l'aplicació bicanònica sigui no biracional. Quan X és una varietat primitiva de tipus general i q(X) = dim X es demostra sota certes condicions de la descomposició de Stein del morfisme d'Albanese, que l'única possibilitat per tal que l'aplicació bicanònica sigui no biracional és que X sigui un recobriment doble sobre una vapp ramificat al llarg d'un divisor a |2Θ|. Aquest resultats estenen a dimensió arbitrària, teoremes ben coneguts en el cas de superfícies i corbes.

Anneaux tautologiques sur les variétés Jacobiennes de courbes avec automorphismes et les variétés de Prym généralisées / Tautological rings on Jacobian varieties of curves with automorphisms and generalized Prym varieties

Richez, Thomas 12 May 2017 (has links)
On étudie dans cette thèse les cycles algébriques sur les variétés Jacobiennes de courbes complexes projectives lisses qui admettent des automorphismes non triviaux. Il s'agit plus précisément d'étudier de nouveaux anneaux tautologiques associés à des groupes d’automorphismes de la courbe. On montre que ces Q-algèbres naturelles de cycles algébriques sur les Jacobiennes se restreignent en des familles de cycles sur certaines sous-variétés spéciales de la Jacobienne et que celles-ci méritent encore le nom d'anneaux tautologiques sur ces sous-variétés. On étudie en détail le cas des courbes hyperelliptiques; situation dans laquelle les algèbres introduites admettent un nombre fini de générateurs, et en particulier sont de dimension finie. On peut alors être très précis dans l'étude des relations entre ces générateurs. Enfin, on montre que ces anneaux tautologiques apparaissent naturellement dans un autre contexte : celui des systèmes linéaires complets sans point de base. / In this thesis we study algebraic cycles on Jacobian varieties of smooth projective complex curves with non trivial automorphisms. More precisely, we introduce new tautological rings associated to groups of automorphisms of the curve. We show that these natural Q-algebras of algebraic cycles on Jacobians induce a good notion of tautological rings on some particular subvarieties of the Jacobian. We then study in detail the case of hyperelliptic curves. In this case, the tautological rings admit a finite number of generators, and in particular are of finite dimension. We can then be very precise when studying the relations between these generators. Finally, we present another situation in which these tautological rings appear: when we consider complete linear series without base point.

Aspects of the geometry of Prym varieties and their moduli

Maestro Pérez, Carlos 25 October 2021 (has links)
In dieser Doktorarbeit untersuchen wir einige Modulräume der Prym-Paaren, Prym-Varietäten und Spin-Kurven. Nachdem der passende theoretische Rahmen eingeführt wird, erhalten wir neue Ergebnisse zu zwei verschiedenen Aspekten ihrer Geometrie, die wir in zwei entsprechenden Kapiteln beschreiben. In Kapitel 1 betrachten wir die universelle Prym-Varietät über dem Modulraum R_g der Prym-Paaren vom Geschlecht g und bestimmen ihre Unirationalität für g=3. Dazu bilden wir eine explizite rationale Parametrisierung der universellen 2-fachen Prym-Kurve über R_3, die die universelle Prym-Varietät durch die globale Version der Abel-Prym-Abbildung dominiert. Darüber hinaus passen wir den Beweis an den Rahmen von Nikulin-Flächen an und zeigen, dass die universelle doppelte Nikulin-Fläche ebenfalls unirational ist. In Kapitel 2 untersuchen wir die Wechselwirkung zwischen R_g und dem Modulraum S_g der (stabilen) Spin-Kurven vom Geschlecht g. Wenn man den Divisor der Kurven, die mit einem verschwindenden Thetanull ausgestattet sind, von S_g^+ nach R_g versetzt, erhält man zwei geometrische Divisoren der (stabilen) Prym-Kurven mit einem verschwindenden Thetanull. Wir verwenden Testkurventechniken, um die Klassen dieser (Prym-Null-)Divisoren für g>=5 zu berechnen, und werten die Prymnull-Klassen auf einigen weiteren Familien von Kurven aus, um ihre verschwindenden Thetanulls zu analysieren. Darüber hinaus diskutieren wir am Ende von Kapitel 2 eine mögliche Kompaktifizierung des Modulraums der Kurven, die eine doppelte Quadratwurzel tragen. Anschließend untersuchen wir den Rand des Modulraums RS_g der (stabilen) Prym-Spin-Kurven vom Geschlecht g und überprüfen die Prymnull-Klassen anhand des Diagramms R_g<--RS_g-->S_g. Zum Schluss schlagen wir eine Erweiterung des Produkts von Wurzeln, das über glatten Kurven durch das Tensorprodukt definiert ist, zu einer Operation auf stabilen Doppelwurzeln vor. / In this thesis, we study several moduli spaces of Prym pairs, Prym varieties, and spin curves. After the appropriate theoretical framework is introduced, we obtain new results concerning two different aspects of their geometry, which we describe across two corresponding chapters. In Chapter 1, we consider the universal Prym variety over the moduli space R_g of Prym pairs of genus g, and determine its unirationality for g=3. To do this, we build an explicit rational parametrization of the universal 2-fold Prym curve over R_3, which dominates the universal Prym variety through the global version of the Abel-Prym map. Furthermore, we adapt the proof to the setting of Nikulin surfaces and show that the universal double Nikulin surface is also unirational. In Chapter 2, we explore the interaction between R_g and the moduli space S_g of (stable) spin curves of genus g. When the divisor of curves equipped with a vanishing theta-null is moved from S_g^+ to R_g, it yields two geometric divisors of (stable) Prym curves with a vanishing theta-null. We use test curve techniques to compute the classes of these (Prym-null) divisors for g>=5, and evaluate the Prym-null classes on some more families of curves in order to analyse their vanishing theta-nulls. In addition, at the end of Chapter 2 we discuss a potential compactification of the moduli space of curves carrying a double square root. We then examine the boundary of the moduli space RS_g of (stable) Prym-spin curves of genus g and check the Prym-null classes against the diagram R_g<--RS_g-->S_g. Finally, we propose an extension of the product of roots, defined over smooth curves by the tensor product, to an operation on stable double roots.
