The Prym characterization by the minimal number of conditions
The Prym characterization by the minimal number of conditions
Let be a principally polarized abelian variety of dimension , and let be a theta-general, uniform collection of points on . Suppose that imposes generically conditions on -linear series, and that the divisor class associated to is .
The Prym characterization by the minimal number of conditions. Then , and equality characterizes Prym varieties. This is proposed as a higher Castelnuovo–Schottky problem. The motivation is Welters' characterization of Prym varieties through Abel–Prym curves of maximal genus representing twice the minimal curve class; the conjectural equality case is not resolved in the supplied text.
