Unirationality of Hurwitz spaces of coverings of degree <= 5
2011
Let $Y$ be a smooth, projective curve of genus $g\geq 1$ over the complex numbers. Let $H^0_{d,A}(Y)$ be the Hurwitz space which parametrizes coverings $p:X \to Y$ of degree $d$, simply branched in $n=2e$ points, with monodromy group equal to $S_d$, and $det(p_{*}O_X/O_Y)$ isomorphic to a fixed line bundle $A^{-1}$ of degree $-e$. We prove that, when $d=3, 4$ or $5$ and $n$ is sufficiently large (precise bounds are given), these Hurwitz spaces are unirational. If in addition $(e,2)=1$ (when $d=3$), $(e,6)=1$ (when $d=4$) and $(e,10)=1$ (when $d=5$), then these Hurwitz spaces are rational.
Hurwitz spaces of Galois coverings of P^1, whose Galois groups are Weyl groups
2006
We prove the irreducibility of the Hurwitz spaces which parametrize Galois coverings of P^1 whose Galois group is an arbitrary Weyl group and the local monodromies are reflections. This generalizes a classical theorem due to Clebsch and Hurwitz.
Hurwitz spaces of Galois coverings of P1, whose Galois groups are Weyl groups
2006
Abstract We prove the irreducibility of the Hurwitz spaces which parametrize equivalence classes of Galois coverings of P 1 , whose Galois group is an arbitrary Weyl group, and the local monodromies are reflections. This generalizes a classical theorem due to Luroth, Clebsch and Hurwitz.
A criterion for extending morphisms from open subsets of smooth fibrations of algebraic varieties
2021
Abstract Given a smooth morphism Y → S and a proper morphism P → S of algebraic varieties we give a sufficient condition for extending an S-morphism U → P , where U is an open subset of Y, to an S-morphism Y → P , analogous to Zariski's main theorem.
Polarization types of isogenous Prym-Tyurin varieties
2007
Let p:C-->Y be a covering of smooth, projective curves which is a composition of ��:C-->C' of degree 2 and g:C'-->Y of degree n. Let f:X-->Y be the covering of degree 2^n, where the curve X parametrizes the liftings in C^{(n)} of the fibers of g:C'-->Y. Let P(X,��) be the associated Prym-Tyurin variety, known to be isogenous to the Prym variety P(C,C'). Most of the results in the paper focus on calculating the polarization type of the restriction of the canonical polarization of JX on P(X,��). We obtain the polarization type when n=3. When Y=P^1 we conjecture that P(X,��) is isomorphic to the dual of the Prym variety P(C,C'). This was known when n=2, we prove it when n=3, and…
Hurwitz spaces of triple coverings of elliptic curves and moduli spaces of abelian threefolds
2002
We prove that the moduli spaces A_3(D) of polarized abelian threefolds with polarizations of types D=(1,1,2), (1,2,2), (1,1,3) or (1,3,3) are unirational. The result is based on the study of families of simple coverings of elliptic curves of degree 2 or 3 and on the study of the corresponding period mappings associated with holomorphic differentials with trace 0. In particular we prove the unirationality of the Hurwitz space H_{3,A}(Y) which parameterizes simply branched triple coverings of an elliptic curve Y with determinants of the Tschirnhausen modules isomorphic to A^{-1}.
Irreducible components of Hurwitz spaces parameterizing Galois coverings of curves of positive genus
2014
Let Y be a smooth, projective, irreducible complex curve. A G-covering p : C → Y is a Galois covering, where C is a smooth, projective, irreducible curve and an isomorphism G ∼ −→ Aut(C/Y ) is fixed. Two G-coverings are equivalent if there is a G-equivariant isomorphism between them. We are concerned with the Hurwitz spaces H n (Y ) and H G n (Y, y0). The first one parameterizes Gequivalence classes of G-coverings of Y branched in n points. The second one, given a point y0 ∈ Y , parameterizes G-equivalence classes of pairs [p : C → Y, z0], where p : C → Y is a G-covering unramified at y0 and z0 ∈ p (y0). When G = Sd one can equivalently consider coverings f : X → Y of degree d with full mon…
Corrigendum: Unirationality of Hurwitz Spaces of Coverings of Degree ≤5
2017
We correct Proposition 3.12 and Lemma 3.13 of the paper published in Vol. 2013, No.13, pp.3006-3052. The corrections do not affect the other statements of the paper. In this note, we correct a flow in the statement of Proposition 3.12 of [1] which also leads to a modification in the statement of Lemma 3.13 of [1]. We recall that in this proposition one considers morphisms of schemes X ?→π Y ?→q S, where q is proper, flat, with equidimensional fibers of dimension n and π is finite, flat and surjective. Imposing certain conditions on the fibers it is claimed that the loci of s € S fulfilling these conditions are open subsets of S. A missing condition should be added and the correct version of…
Hurwitz spaces of quadruple coverings of elliptic curves and the moduli space of abelian threefolds A_3(1,1,4)
2005
We prove that the moduli space A_3(1,1,4) of polarized abelian threefolds with polarization of type (1,1,4) is unirational. By a result of Birkenhake and Lange this implies the unirationality of the isomorphic moduli space A_3(1,4,4). The result is based on the study the Hurwitz space H_{4,n}(Y) of quadruple coverings of an elliptic curve Y simply branched in n points. We prove the unirationality of its codimension one subvariety H^{0}_{4,A}(Y) which parametrizes quadruple coverings ��:X --> Y with Tschirnhausen modules isomorphic to A^{-1}, where A\in Pic^{n/2}Y, and for which ��^*:J(Y)--> J(X) is injective. This is an analog of the result of Arbarello and Cornalba that the Hurwitz s…
