5 Definitions Period matrices and ThetaNullwerte Period matrices Let C be a curve over k C of genus g > 0. The Jacobian of C is a torus Jac(C) C g /Λ where the lattice Λ = ΩZ 2g, the matrix Ω = [Ω 1, Ω 2 ] M g,2g (C) is a period matrix and τ = Ω 1 2 Ω 1 H g = {M GL g (C), t M = M, Im M > 0} is a Riemann matrix. Christophe Ritzenthaler (IML) From the curve to its Jacobian and back Montréal / 40

6 Construction Period matrices and ThetaNullwerte Period matrices v 1,..., v g be a k-basis of H 0 (C, Ω 1 ), δ 1,..., δ 2g be generators of H 1 (C, Z) such that (δ i ) 1...2g form a symplectic basis for the intersection pairing on C. Ω := [Ω 1, Ω 2 ] = [ δ j v i ] i = 1,..., g j = 1,..., 2g. Magma (Vermeulen): can compute Ω for a hyperelliptic curve. Maple (Deconinck, van Hoeij) can compute Ω for any plane model. Rem: there is a polarization j involved in the definition of Ω with Chern class ( ( ) ) i Ω t Ω. 1 0 Christophe Ritzenthaler (IML) From the curve to its Jacobian and back Montréal / 40

9 Period matrices and ThetaNullwerte Projective embedding ThetaNullwerte The polarization j comes from an ample divisor D on Jac(C) (defined up to translation). Theorem (Lefschetz, Mumford, Kempf) For n 3, nd is very ample, i.e. one can embed Jac(C) in a P ng 1 with a basis of sections of L(nD). For n = 4, the embedding is given by intersection of quadrics, whose equations are completely determined by the image of 0. Christophe Ritzenthaler (IML) From the curve to its Jacobian and back Montréal / 40

10 ThetaNullwert Period matrices and ThetaNullwerte ThetaNullwerte A basis of sections of L(4D) is given by theta functions θ[ε](2z, τ) with integer characteristics [ε] = (ɛ, ɛ ) {0, 1} 2g where [ ] ɛ θ ɛ (z, τ) = exp (iπ (n + ɛ2 )τ t (n + ɛ2 ) + 2iπ (n + ɛ2 ) )t (z + ɛ 2 ). n Z g When ɛ t ɛ 0 (mod 2), [ε] is said even and one calls ThetaNullwert [ ] [ ] ɛ ɛ θ (0, τ) = θ (τ) = θ[ε](τ) = θ ab ɛ where the binary representations of a and b are ɛ, ɛ. ɛ Christophe Ritzenthaler (IML) From the curve to its Jacobian and back Montréal / 40

13 Period matrices and ThetaNullwerte Case g = 1 Gauss, Cox 84, Dupont 07 From the ThetaNullwerte to the Riemann matrix Let z = θ 01 (τ) 2 /θ 00 (τ) 2. Duplication formulae vs AGM formulae : θ 00 (2τ) 2 = θ 00(τ) 2 +θ 01 (τ) 2 2 a n = a n 1+b n 1 2, θ 01 (2τ) 2 = θ 00 (τ) θ 01 (τ) b n = a n 1 b n 1, θ 10 (2τ) 2 = θ 00(τ) 2 θ 01 (τ) 2 2 AGM(θ 00 (τ) 2, θ 01 (τ) 2 ) = lim θ 00 (2 n τ) 2 = 1 AGM(1, z) = 1 θ 00 (τ) 2. θ 10 (τ) 2 = θ 00 (τ) 4 θ 01 (τ) 4.

Proposition i AGM(1, z) AGM(1, 1 z 2 ) = τ. Christophe Ritzenthaler (IML) From the curve to its Jacobian and back Montréal / 40

15 Period matrices and ThetaNullwerte From the ThetaNullwerte to the Riemann matrix Difficulty: define the correct square root when the values are complex. Rem: one cannot get Ω from the ThetaNullwerte. But from the curve: Theorem (Gauss, Cox 84) If E : y 2 = x(x a 2 )(x b 2 ) then [ω 1, ω 2 ] = [ a period matrix relative to dx/y. π AGM(a,b), iπ AGM(a+b,a b) ] is Use the same ingredients as above and, as first step, the Thomae s formulae ω 2 a = π θ 00 (τ) 2, ω 2 b = π θ 01 (τ) 2.

16 Case g 2 Period matrices and ThetaNullwerte From the ThetaNullwerte to the Riemann matrix Particular case: real Weierstrass points and g = 2 (Bost-Mestre 88). General case (Dupont 07): under some (experimentally verified) conjectures. Proposition One can compute τ in terms of θ[ε](τ) 2 /θ[0](τ) 2 in time O(g 2 2 g M(n) log n) for n digits of precision (M(n) is the complexity of the binary multiplication). Question: what about the period matrix? Christophe Ritzenthaler (IML) From the curve to its Jacobian and back Montréal / 40

18 Period matrices and ThetaNullwerte The work of (Dupont 07) From the Riemann matrix to the (quotients of) ThetaNullwerte Naive method: O(M(n) n) for g = 1 and O(n 2+ɛ ) for g = 2. New method: invert the AGM. Complexity for n bits of precision on the quotients O(M(n) log n) for g = 1, O(n 1+ɛ ) for g = 2 (conjectural algorithm). Main idea for g = 1: let f (z) = i AGM(1, z) τ AGM(1, 1 z 2 ). Then f (θ 01 (τ) 2 /θ 00 (τ) 2 ) = 0. Do a Newton algorithm on f. can we get rid of the conjectures? can we generalize to all genera? can we compute the ThetaNullwerte alone?

Theorem (Thomae s formulae) ( ) det 2 θ[ε](τ) 4 Ω2 = ± (λ i λ j ) π g (i,j) I with the choice of the basis of differentials x i dx/y (the set I depends on [ε] and on the basis of H 1 (C, Z)). Christophe Ritzenthaler (IML) From the curve to its Jacobian and back Montréal / 40

21 From the curve to its Jacobian Hyperelliptic case and the first tool: s ε Proof: see (Fay 73) using a variational method. Proof for the quotients: study the zeroes of the section s ε (P) = θ[ε](φ P0 (P)) where P 0 C and φ P0 (P) = P P 0 Jac(C). c f (P) = sε(p)2 s ε (P) 2 for an explicit f C(C). c = sε(p 1) 2 s ε (P 1 ) 2 f (P 1 ) = sε(p 2) 2 s ε (P 2 ) 2 f (P 2 ) for P 1, P 2 such that sε(p 2) 2 s ε (P 2 ) 2 = s ε (P 1) 2 s ε(p 1 ) 2.

22 From the curve to its Jacobian Main result on s ε (P) Hyperelliptic case and the first tool: s ε Let C be a curve of genus g > 0, P 0 C. Theorem If s ε (P) is not identically zero, then s ε (P) has g zeroes P 1,..., P g such that the divisor D = P P g is characterized by D gp 0 ε + κ where κ is a constant depending only on the homology basis and on P 0. Geometrically, let Θ = {z, θ[0](z, τ) = 0} Jac(C), L be the corresponding ample line bundle. Poincaré s formula (φ P0 (C) Θ) = g. s ε is a section of the line bundle L ε = φ P 0 t εl = O C (P P g ).

23 From the curve to its Jacobian Hyperelliptic case and the first tool: s ε Riemann s theorem: κ 0 a theta characteristic such that Sym g 1 C κ 0 = Θ. L 0 = φ P 0 L = O C (P P0 g ) with P P0 g κ 0 + P 0. Indeed P 0 i P 0 ( j i P0 j κ 0 ) Θ = Θ. Canonical isomorphism: φ P 0 : Pic 0 (Jac(C)) = Jac(C) Pic 0 (C) = Jac(C) is an isomorphism with inverse φ L. φ P 0 (t εl L 1 ) = φ 1 L where κ = κ 0 (g 1)P 0. φ L(ε) = O C (ε) = O C ( P i P 0 κ 0 ) = O C ( P i κ) Christophe Ritzenthaler (IML) From the curve to its Jacobian and back Montréal / 40

26 From the curve to its Jacobian Non hyperelliptic case genus 3 Non hyperelliptic case and the second tool: Jacobian Nullwerte Let C be a smooth plane quartic. Theorem (Weber 1876) ( ) θ[ε](τ) 4 θ[ε = [b i, b j, b ij ][b ik, b jk, b ij ][b j, b jk, b k ][b i, b ik, b k ] ](τ) [b j, b jk, b ij ][b i, b ik, b ij ][b i, b j, b k ][b ik, b jk, b k ] where the b i, b ij are linear equations of certain bitangents of C and [b i, b j, b k ] is the determinant of the matrix of the coefficients of (once for all fixed) equations of the bitangents. Weber s proof uses s ε (P). Question: can we find a formula for a Thetanullwert alone like in the hyperelliptic case?

27 From the curve to its Jacobian Derivative of theta functions Non hyperelliptic case and the second tool: Jacobian Nullwerte When ɛ t ɛ 1 (mod 2), [ε] is said odd and we write [µ] instead. Definition The theta gradient (with odd characteristic [µ]) is the vector ( ) θ[µ](z, τ) θ[µ](z, τ) θ[µ] := (0, τ),..., (0, τ). z 1 z g The theta hyperplane is the projective hyperplane of P g 1 defined by a theta gradient. We denote the matrix θ[µ] (X 1,..., X g ) = 0 J[µ 1,..., µ g ] := ( θ[µ 1 ],..., θ[µ g ] ) and [µ 1,..., µ g ] its determinant (called Jacobian Nullwerte).

Theorem Let φ be the canonical map φ : C P g 1, P (ω 1 (P),..., ω g (P)). Let D be an effective divisor of degree g 1 on C such that h 0 (D) = 1. Then ( ) θ(z, τ) θ(z, τ) (D κ 0, τ), (D κ 0, τ) Ω 1 2 t (X 1,..., X g ) = 0 z 1 z g is an hyperplan of P g 1 which cuts out the divisor φ(d) on the curve φ(c).

Then [µ 1,..., µ g ](τ) = π g [ε g+1 ],...,[ε 2g+2 ] S ± 2g+2 i=g+1 θ[ε i ](τ),

30 From the curve to its Jacobian Non hyperelliptic case and the second tool: Jacobian Nullwerte Sketch of the proof of Weber s formula (Nart, R. unpublished) Let [ε], [ε ] be two even characteristics in genus 3. create two fundamental systems of the form {[µ 1 ], [µ 2 ], [µ 3 ], [ε], [ε 4], [ε 5], [ε 6], [ε 7]}, {[µ 1], [µ 2], [µ 3], [ε ], [ε 4], [ε 5], [ε 6], [ε 7]}. #S = 1 and [µ 1, µ 2, µ 3 ] [µ 1, µ 2, µ 3 ] = θ[ε] θ[ε ]. An odd 2-torsion point µ is given by D κ 0 where D is a degree 2 divisor, support of a bitangent of equation b µ = 0. [b µ1, b µ2, b µ3 ] = det(ω 2 ) 1 (λ µ1 λ µ2 λ µ3 ) [µ 1, µ 2, µ 3 ] where λ i are constants depending on the choice of scalar multiplier for b i and of τ. use several quotients to get rid of the λ i.

31 Remarks From the curve to its Jacobian Non hyperelliptic case and the second tool: Jacobian Nullwerte For g = 4, #S = 2 and for g = 7, #S = 960. For g 5 it is known that [µ 1,..., µ g ] is in C[θ].In general, it is not true but [µ 1,..., µ g ] can be expresses as a quotient of two polynomials in the ThetaNullwerte. There is also a precise conjectural formula (Igusa 80). Could we directly invert the formula, i.e. express a ThetaNullwert is terms of Jacobian Nullwerte (at least for g 5)? (Nakayashili 97, Enolski, Grava 06): Thomae s formula for y n = m i=1 (x λ i) n 1 2m i=m+1 (x λ i). a general theory exists (Klein vol.3 p.429, Matone-Volpato 07 over C, Shepherd-Barron preprint 08 over any field). Their expressions involve determinants of bases of H 0 (C, L(2K C + µ)). But no formula or implementation has been done.
