Van Geemen–van der Geer's conjecture on the \Gamma_{00} base locus
Let be an indecomposable principally polarized abelian variety of dimension , with symmetric. Let be the subspace of sections vanishing to order four at the origin, and let be the base locus of the associated linear series. For a smooth curve , write
Van Geemen–van der Geer's conjecture. If is the Jacobian of a smooth curve , then, as a set,
If is not a Jacobian, then, as a set, . This conjecture seeks to characterize Jacobians among indecomposable principally polarized abelian varieties through the base locus of the linear system defined by sections vanishing to order four at the origin. The source gives no resolution status beyond stating the conjecture.
