Hodge classes on certain hyperelliptic Prymians

Abstract: Let

n = 2 g + 2

be a positive even integer,

f (x)

a degree

n

complex polynomial without multiple roots and

C_{f} : y^{2} = f (x)

the corresponding genus

g

hyperelliptic curve over the field

C

of complex numbers. Let a

(g - 1)

-dimensional complex abelian variety

P

be a Prym variety of

C_{f}

that corresponds to a unramified double cover of

C_{f}

. Suppose that there exists a subfield

K

of

C

such that

f (x)

lies in

K [x]

, is irreducible over

K

and its Galois group is the full symmetric group. Assuming that

g > 2

, we prove that

E n d (P)

is either the ring of integers

Z

or the direct sum of two copies of

Z

; in addition, in both cases the Hodge group of

P

is "as large as possible". In particular, the Hodge conjecture holds true for all self-products of

P

.
