Abstract: Klein's simple group H of order 168 is the automorphism group of the plane quartic curve C, called Klein quartic. By Torelli Theorem, the full automorphism group G of the Jacobian J=J(C) is the group of order 336, obtained by adding minus identity to H. The quotient variety J/G can be alternatively represented as the quotient mathbbC3/ildeG of the complex 3-space by the complex crystallographic group ildeG, the extension of G by the period lattice of the Klein quartic. Moreover, it turns out that ildeG is generated by affine complex reflections. According to a conjecture of Bernstein--Schwarzman, a quotient of mathbbCn by an irreducible complex crystallographic group generated by reflections is a weighted projective space. The conjecture is known in dimension two and for complexifications of the real crystallographic groups generated by reflections. The case of ildeG is the first, and in a sense the smallest of the unknown cases. We compute the orbits and the stabilizers of the action of G on J and deduce that J/G=mathbfC3/ildeG is a strongly simply connected variety with the same singularities as the weighted projective space mathbbP(1,2,4,7).
