Abstract: In this paper, we first single out a proper subgroup Gamma of Sp(4,Z) generated by three elements, which arises from the parallelogram decompositions of translation surfaces in H(2). We then prove that the space H(2)/C* can be identified to the quotient J_2/Gamma, where J_2 is the Jacobian locus in the Siegel upper half space H_2, in other words, the group Gamma is the image in Sp(4,Z) of the fundamental group of the space H(2)/C*. A direct consequence of this fact is that [Sp(4,Z):Gamma]=6.

Review text

Let \({\mathcal H}(2)\) be the space of pairs \((M,\omega)\), where \(\omega\) is a holomorphic 1-form with only one zero of order two on a Riemann surface \(M\) of genus two. There is a natural action of the multiplicative group \({\mathbb C}^*\) on \({\mathcal H}(2)\) and the main result of the paper under review is that the quotient space \({\mathcal H}(2)/{\mathbb C}^*\) is homeomorphic to the quotient space \(\Gamma\setminus{\mathcal J}_2\), where \(\Gamma\) is a certain subgroup of \(\text{Sp}(4,{\mathbb Z})\) and \({\mathcal J}_2\) is the Jacobian locus of Riemann surfaces of genus two in the Siegel upper half-space.
