Abstract: Let X be a compact connected Riemann surface of genus at least two. The Abel-Jacobi map varphi:mSymd(X)ightarrowmPicd(X) is an embedding if d is less than the gonality of X. We investigate the curvature of the pull-back, by varphi, of the flat metric on mPicd(X). In particular, we show that when d=1, the curvature is strictly negative everywhere if X is not hyperelliptic, and when X is hyperelliptic, the curvature is nonpositive with vanishing exactly on the points of X fixed by the hyperelliptic involution.
