The Gamma-zero-zero base-locus conjecture for Jacobians

For a principally polarized abelian variety (A,Θ)Agind(A,\Theta)\in{\mathcal A}_g^{\mathrm{ind}}, let Γ00\Gamma_{00} be the linear system described in the source and let Bs(Γ00)Bs(\Gamma_{00}) denote its base locus. The point 00 is always in this base locus.

Γ00\Gamma_{00} conjecture. If

Bs(Γ00){0},Bs(\Gamma_{00})\ne\{0\},

then AA belongs to the Jacobian locus:

AJg.A\in{\mathcal J}_g.

The conjecture is intended as a characterization of Jacobians through the base locus of the Γ00\Gamma_{00} system. The source notes that proving it for a generic ppav would not by itself solve the Schottky problem, since a generic ppav is not a Jacobian.
