On the Jacobian of a hyperplane section of a surface
[For the entire collection see Zbl 0744.00029.] The following theorem is proved: Let \(S\) be a complex smooth projective surface and let \(L\) be a linear system which defines a birational map from \(S\) onto its image \(F\); assume that \(F\) is not a scroll, nor has rational hyperplane sections. Then, the ring of endomorphisms of the Jacobian of the normalization of a general member of \(| L|\) is isomorphic to \(\mathbb Z \times \text{End}(\text{Alb}(S))\). In particular, if \(S\) is regular, the Jacobian of the normalization of a general member of \(| L|\) is simple. To prove this theorem, one reduces immediately to the case where \(| L|\) has no base point. A general member \(C\) of \(| L|\) is then smooth, and its Jacobian is isogenous to the product of \(\text{Alb}(S)\) and the identity component \(K(C,S)\) of the kernel of the surjective morphism \(\text{Alb}(C) \to \text{Alb}(S)\). One proves then that \(\text{End}(K(C,S))\) is isomorphic to \(\mathbb{Z}\) by degenerating to an irreducible curve in \(| L|\) with a single node. The fact that there are no nonzero homomorphisms from \(K(C,S)\) to \(\text{Alb}(S)\) then follows easily. It should be mentioned that the results of this article are entirely contained in an article by \textit{S. Mori} [cf. Jap. J. Math., New Ser. 2, 109--130 (1976; Zbl 0339.14016)] who deals with the same problems in a more general setting and in all characteristics, with similar methods. However, the reader interested only in the characteristic zero case will probably find the article under review more easily accessible.
