We confirm a conjecture of L. Merel (H. Darmon and L. Merel, J. Reine Angew. Math. 490 (1997), 81-100) describing a certain relation between the jacobians of various quotients of X p in terms of specific correspondences. The method of proof involves reducing this conjecture to a question about certa

Consider a curve of genus one over a field K in one of three explicit forms: a double cover of P 1 , a plane cubic, or a space quartic. For each form, a certain syzygy from classical invariant theory gives the curve's jacobian in Weierstrass form and the covering map to its jacobian induced by the K
Let \(J\) be the Jacobian of the hyperelliptic curve \(Y^{2}=f\left(X^{2}\right)\) over a field \(K\) of characteristic 0 , where \(f\) has odd degree. We shall present an embedding of the group \(J(K) / 2 J(K)\) into the group \(L^{* / L^{* 2}}\) where \(L=K[T] / f(T)\). Since this embedding is der
Let C be a curve of genus 2 and Ο 1 : C -β E 1 a map of degree n, from C to an elliptic curve E 1 , both curves defined over C. This map induces a degree n map Ο 1 : P 1 -β P 1 which we call a Frey-Kani covering. We determine all possible ramifications for Ο 1 . If Ο 1 : C -β E 1 is maximal then the
