It maps onto P^8 and the map is a double cover branched over a sextic hypersurface called the Coble sextic. In the dual P^8 there is a unique cubic hypersurface, the Coble cubic, singular exactly along the abelian surface of degree 1 line bundles on X. We give a new proof that these two hypersurfaces are dual. As an immediate corollary, we derive a Torelli-type result.", "revisions": [ { "version": "v2", "updated": "2004-11-24T00:08:28.000Z" } ], "analyses": { "subjects": [ "14H60", "14E05", "14J70" ], "keywords": [ "trivial determinant", "moduli space", "unique cubic hypersurface", "sextic hypersurface", "semi-stable vector bundles" ], "note": { "typesetting": "TeX", "pages": 20, "language": "en", "license": "arXiv", "status": "editable", "adsabs": "2004math......8318N" } } }
