Hyperellipticity conjecture for the families J_g
Hyperellipticity conjecture for the families J_g
For , let denote the corresponding family of translation surfaces of genus . A compact Riemann surface is hyperelliptic if it admits a degree-two map to the projective line. Hyperellipticity conjecture. The surface is hyperelliptic for . Numerical evidence comes from vanishing even theta constants for genera and , and from modular-form equations and additional vanishing theta constants for genus ; the statement remains conjectural.
