Explicit Mumford isomorphism for hyperelliptic curves (Q856326)

The goal of this paper is to give a formula for the Arakelov-Green function of a hyperelliptic Riemann surface of genus \(g\geq 2\), evaluated at pairs of Weierstrass points. The main result gives a relation between the Arakelov-Green function of a hyperelliptic Riemann surface, evaluated at its Weierstrass points, and the Faltings delta-invariant of that Riemann surface. This generalizes a result of \textit{J.-B. Bost} [C. R. Acad. Sci., Paris, Sér. I 305, 643--646 (1987; Zbl 0638.14016)] for genus \(2\). The idea is to construct an explicit form of Mumford's isomorphism for hyperelliptic curves. An application of the formula is also presented rediscovering a classical identity of \textit{J. Thomae} [J. Reine Angew. Math. 71, 201--222 (1870; JFM 02.0244.01)].
