Cohomology of local systems on the moduli of principally polarized abelian surfaces

On Isogenous Principally Polarized Abelian Surfaces

We study a relationship between two genus 2 curves whose jacobians are isogenous with kernel equal to a maximal isotropic subspace of p-torsion points with respect to the Weil pairing. For p = 3 we find an explicit relationship between the set of Weierstrass points of the two curves extending the classical results of F. Richelot (1837) and G. Humbert (1901) in the case p = 2.

The moduli space of (1,11)-polarized abelian surfaces is unirational

We prove that the moduli space A 11 of …1; 11†-polarized Abelian surfaces with level structure of canonical type is birational to Klein's cubic hypersurface in P4. Therefore, A 11 is unirational but not rational, and there are no G11-cusp forms of weight 3. The same methods also provide an easy proof of the rationality of A 9 .

Rank One Eisenstein Cohomology of Local Systems on the Moduli Space of Abelian Varieties

We give a formula for the Eisenstein cohomology of local systems on the partial compactification of the moduli of principally polarized abelian varieties given by rank 1 degenerations.
