Debarre's conjecture on small Seshadri constants of principally polarized abelian varieties

Let (A,Θ)(A,\Theta) be a principally polarized abelian variety of dimension g4g\geqslant 4. Here ϵ(Θ)\epsilon(\Theta) denotes the Seshadri constant of the polarization Θ\Theta.

Debarre's conjecture. If

ϵ(Θ)<2,\epsilon(\Theta)<2,

then either (A,Θ)(A,\Theta) is decomposable or (A,Θ)(A,\Theta) is the Jacobian of a hyperelliptic curve.

This conjecture describes the expected structure of principally polarized abelian varieties with small Seshadri constant. The source states that it remains open; a later work generalizes it to arbitrary polarizations and studies it in small dimensions.
