Singularities of the Prym theta-divisor -- Sebastian Casalaina-Martin, April 2, 2004

For the Jacobian of a curve, the Riemann singularity theorem gives a geometric interpretation of the singularities of the theta-divisor in terms of special linear series on the curve. In this talk, after a brief introduction to Prym varieties and their theta-divisors, I will discuss an analogous theorem for Prym varieties.
