Abstract: The Jacobian $J$ of a complete, smooth, connected curve $X$ admits a canonical divisor $Theta$, called the Theta divisor. It is well-known that $Theta$ is ample and, in fact, $3Theta$ is very ample. For a general complete, integral curve $X$, D'Souza constructed a compactification $$ of the Jacobian $J$ by considering torsion-free, rank 1 sheaves on $X$. Soucaris and the author considered independently the analogous Theta divisor $Theta$ on $$, and showed that $Theta$ is ample. In this article, we show that $nTheta$ is very ample for $n$ greater or equal to a specified lower bound. If $X$ has at most ordinary nodes or cusps as singularities, then our lower bound is 3. Our main tool is to use theta sections associated to vector bundles on $X$ to embed $$ into a projective space.
