Debarre's lower-bound conjecture for Seshadri constants of indecomposable polarized abelian varieties

Let (A,L)(A,L) be a gg-dimensional indecomposable polarized abelian variety, meaning that it is not a product of polarized abelian varieties. Let (JC,ΘC)(J_C,\Theta_C) denote the Jacobian of a smooth hyperelliptic curve CC of genus gg, and let ϵ(L)\epsilon(L) be the Seshadri constant of LL. Debarre's conjecture. If (A,L)(A,L) is not the Jacobian (JC,ΘC)(J_C,\Theta_C) of a smooth hyperelliptic curve CC of genus gg, then

ϵ(L)2.\epsilon(L)\geqslant 2.

Nakamaye's result gives the general lower bound ϵ(L)1\epsilon(L)\geqslant 1, with equality exactly for a product of an abelian subvariety and an elliptic curve. In higher dimensions, the proposed lower bound remains an open question; the excluded hyperelliptic Jacobians are the known exceptional case motivating the formulation.
