Krämer–Weissauer's Tannakian Schottky conjecture

Let Jg\mathcal{J}_g denote the locus of gg-dimensional Jacobians in the moduli space Ag\mathcal{A}_g of principally polarized abelian varieties, and let Jgfake\mathcal{J}^\mathrm{fake}_g be the closure of the locus where the Tannakian group and representation associated to the theta divisor have the form occurring for Jacobians. Krämer–Weissauer's Tannakian Schottky conjecture. For g0g\geq 0, we have

Jg=Jgfake.\mathcal{J}_g=\mathcal{J}^\mathrm{fake}_g.

Krämer's result shows that the Jacobian locus is an irreducible component of the fake-Jacobian locus, giving a weak solution to the Schottky problem; the conjecture asserts that no additional points occur.
