Abstract: We prove the generic injectivity of the Prym map, sending a double covering of an elliptic curve ramified at r>4 points to its polarized Prym variety. For r=6 the map is birational.

Review text

Let \(\mathcal{P}:\mathcal{R}_{1,r}\rightarrow\mathcal{A}_{r/2}^{\delta}\) denote the Prym map in the case of double coverings of elliptic curves ramified at \(r\) points. When \(r\leq 4\) the generic fiber has positive dimension and, for \(r=4\), it was completely described in [\textit{W. Barth}, Adv. Stud. Pure Math. 10, 41--84 (1987; Zbl 0639.14023)]. The main result of this paper shows that the Prym map \(\mathcal{P}\) is generically injective for \(r\geq 6\). When \(r=6\), the authors prove the birationality of the map, and obtain as a byproduct the unirationality of \(\mathcal{R}_{1,6}\) and \(\mathcal{A}_3^{\delta}\). Their proof for the case \(r\geq 8\) proceeds by induction on \(r\) by using a degeneration argument. The proof is a refinement of that given in [\textit{V. O. Marcucci} and \textit{G. P. Pirola}, Compos. Math. 148, No. 4, 1147--1170 (2012; Zbl 1254.14033)].
