The Prym tropicalization conjecture
The Prym tropicalization conjecture
Let be an unramified double cover of smooth curves, and let be its tropicalization. Let the Prym variety associated with be the connected component of the kernel of the norm map containing the identity, and let the tropical Prym variety associated with be the corresponding connected component of the kernel of the induced map on tropical Jacobians.
Prym tropicalization conjecture. The skeleton of the Prym variety associated with is the tropical Prym variety associated with ; equivalently, the Prym construction commutes with tropicalization.
This is proposed as the Prym analogue of the result that the Jacobian of the skeleton of a curve is the skeleton of its Jacobian. The supplied text gives no resolution, so the conjecture remains open.
