The Prym-image conjecture for the divisor D(μ;3)D(\mu;3)

Let R6\mathcal{R}_6 be the moduli space of Prym curves of genus 66, let A5\mathcal{A}_5 be the moduli space of principally polarized abelian varieties of dimension 55, and let P6 ⁣:R6A5\mathcal{P}_6\colon\mathcal{R}_6\to\mathcal{A}_5 be the Prym map. Let D(μ;3)R6D(\mu;3)\subset\mathcal{R}_6 be the divisor considered above. Its slope is measured on M6\mathcal{M}_6, the moduli space of smooth curves of genus 66. Prym-image conjecture for D(μ;3)D(\mu;3). The restriction PD(μ;3)\mathcal{P}_{|D(\mu;3)} of the Prym map is generically one to one. Moreover, the pullback P1(P(D(μ;3)))\mathcal{P}^{-1}(\mathcal{P}(D(\mu;3))) consists of D(μ;3)D(\mu;3) and a second divisor that is the pullback of a divisor on M6\mathcal{M}_6 of slope

25471377.985.\frac{2\cdot 547}{137}\approx 7.985.

The conjecture is motivated by the computed pullback and pushforward of D(μ;3)D(\mu;3): the difference has boundary coefficients whose ratio suggests that the second component comes from a divisor on M6\mathcal{M}_6.
