چکیده
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. We also prove canonical isomorphisms between some subseries of |2Ξ 0 | and |2Ξ ′ 0 | and some subseries of second order theta divisors on the Jacobian of C.

For the Jacobian of a curve, the Riemann singularity theorem gives a geometric interpretation of the singularities of the theta divisor in terms of special linear series on the curve. This paper proves an analogous theorem for Prym varieties. Applications of this theorem to cubic threefolds, and Prym varieties of dimension five, are also considered.

Given Prym-Tyurin varieties of exponent q with respect to a finite group G, a subgroup H and a set of rational irreducible representations of G satisfying some additional properties, we construct a Prym-Tyurin variety of exponent [G : H ]q in a natural way. We study an example of this result, starting from the dihedral group Dp for any odd prime p. This generalizes the construction of [4] for p...

Let X1, . . . , Xm denote smooth projective curves of genus gi ≥ 2 over an algebraically closed field of characteristic 0 and let n denote any integer at least equal to 1 + max i=1 gi. We show that the product JX1 × · · · × JXm of the corresponding Jacobian varieties admits the structure of a Prym-Tyurin variety of exponent n. This exponent is considerably smaller than the exponent of the struc...
