Hyperelliptic Prym Varieties and Integrable Systems

چکیده
We introduce two algebraic completely integrable analogues of the Mumford systems which we call hyperelliptic Prym systems, because every hyperelliptic Prym variety appears as a fiber of their momentum map. As an application we show that the general fiber of the momentum map of the periodic Volterra lattice ȧi = ai(ai−1 − ai+1), i = 1, . . . , n, an+1 = a1, is an affine part of a hyperelliptic Prym variety, obtained by removing n translates of the theta divisor, and we conclude that this integrable system is algebraic completely integrable.

Algebraic description of Jacobians isogeneous to certain Prym varieties with polarization (1,2)∗
For a class of non-hyperelliptic genus 3 curves C which are 2-fold coverings of elliptic curves E, we give an explicit algebraic description of all birationally nonequivalent genus 2 curves whose Jacobians are degree 2 isogeneous to the Prym varieties associated to such coverings. Our description is based on previous studies of Prym varieties with polarization (1,2) in connection with separatio...

We investigate a family of correspondences associated tó etale coverings of degree 3 of hyperelliptic curves. They lead to Prym-Tyurin varieties of exponent 3. We identify these varieties and derive some consequences.
متن کاملPrym Varieties and Integrable Systems
A new relation between Prym varieties of arbitrary morphisms of algebraic curves and integrable systems is discovered. The action of maximal commutative subalgebras of the formal loop algebra of GLn defined on certain infinite-dimensional Grassmannians is studied. It is proved that every finite-dimensional orbit of the action of traceless elements of these commutative Lie algebras is isomorphic...
متن کاملDimensions of Prym Varieties
Given a tame Galois branched cover of curves π : X → Y with any finite Galois group G whose representations are rational, we compute the dimension of the (generalized) Prym variety Prymρ(X) corresponding to any irreducible representation ρ of G. This formula can be applied to the study of algebraic integrable systems using Lax pairs, in particular systems associated with Seiberg-Witten theory. ...

Let P ∪P ′ be the two component Prym variety associated to anétale double cover˜C → C of a non-hyperelliptic curve of genus g ≥ 6 and let |2Ξ 0 | and |2Ξ ′ 0 | be the linear systems of second order theta divisors on P and P ′ respectively. The component P ′ contains canonically the Prym curve˜C. We show that the base locus of the subseries of divisors containing˜C ⊂ P ′ is exactly the curve˜C. ...
