    A decomposition of the Jacobian of a Humbert-Edge curve

    Full text link
    A \textit{Humbert-Edge curve of type} nn is a non-degenerate smooth complete intersection of nβˆ’1n-1 diagonal quadrics. Such a curve has an interesting geometry since it has a natural action of the group (Z/2Z)n(\mathbb{Z}/2\mathbb{Z})^n. We present here a decomposition of its Jacobian variety as a product of Prym-Tyurin varieties, and we compute the kernel of the corresponding isogeny.Comment: 9 pages, comments welcome!
