Group Actions on Jacobian Varieties

چکیده
Consider a finite groupG acting on a Riemann surface S, and the associated branched Galois cover πG : S → Y = S/G. We introduce the concept of geometric signature for the action of G, and we show that it captures much information: the geometric structure of the lattice of intermediate covers, the isotypical decomposition of the rational representation of the group G acting on the Jacobian variety JS of S, and the dimension of the subvarieties of the isogeny decomposition of JS. We also give a version of Riemann’s existence theorem, adjusted to the present setting.

Polarizations on abelian subvarieties of principally polarized abelian varieties with dihedral group actions
For any n ≥ 2 we study the group algebra decomposition of an ([ 2 ] + 1)dimensional family of principally polarized abelian varieties of dimension n with an action of the dihedral group of order 2n. For any odd prime p, n = p and n = 2p we compute the induced polarization on the isotypical components of these varieties and some other distinguished subvarieties. In the case of n = p the family c...
متن کاملOn a unit group generated by special values of Siegel modular functions
There has been important progress in constructing units and Sunits associated to curves of genus 2 or 3. These approaches are based mainly on the consideration of properties of Jacobian varieties associated to hyperelliptic curves of genus 2 or 3. In this paper, we construct a unit group of the ray class field k6 of Q(exp(2πi/5)) modulo 6 with full rank by special values of Siegel modular funct...
متن کاملCompletely Decomposable Jacobian Varieties in New Genera
We present a new technique to study Jacobian variety decompositions using subgroups of the automorphism group of the curve and the corresponding intermediate covers. In particular, this new method allows us to produce many new examples of genera for which there is a curve with completely decomposable Jacobian. These examples greatly extend the list given by Ekedahl and Serre of genera containin...

Let G denote a finite group and π : Z → Y a Galois covering of smooth projective curves with Galois group G. For every subgroup H of G there is a canonical action of the corresponding Hecke algebra Q[H\G/H ] on the Jacobian of the curve X = Z/H . To each rational irreducible representation W of G we associate an idempotent in the Hecke algebra, which induces a correspondence of the curve X and ...
