Series Title: On the arithmetic of hyperelliptic curves
Thursday October 11th
Lecture 3: Arithmetic invariant theory
60 Evans Hall
Abstract:
I will describe a representation of the orthogonal group whose stable orbits are related to the 2-descent on hyperelliptic curves of a fixed genus with a rational Weierstrass point, and construct the principal homogeneous spaces for the Jacobian using pencils of quadrics.
