On the principally polarized abelian varieties that contain m-minimal curves (1611.02868v2)
Published 9 Nov 2016 in math.AG
Abstract: In this paper, we study principally polarized abelian varieties $X$ of dimension $g$ that contain a curve $\nu:C\to X$ such that the class of $C$ is $m$ times the minimal class. Welters introduced the formalism of stable pairs to handle this problem in the case $m=2$. We generalize the results of Welters and construct families of principally polarized abelian varieties for any $m$ and compute the dimension of the locus of these abelian varieties.
