The Oort conjecture on Shimura curves in the Torelli locus of hyperelliptic curves
2017
Abstract Oort has conjectured that there do not exist Shimura varieties of dimension >0 contained generically in the Torelli locus of genus-g curves when g is sufficiently large. In this paper we prove the analogue of this conjecture for Shimura curves with respect to the hyperelliptic Torelli locus of genus g > 7 .
