The Abel-Jacobi map of the space of conics for double sextic threefolds

Abstract: Let

X

be a double cover of

m a t h b b P^{3}

branched along a sextic surface

Y

. In this paper, we show that, for general

X

, the Abel-Jacobi map associated to the normalization

i l d e F (X)

of the surface

F (X)

of curves contained in

X

which are preimages of lines bitangent to

Y

, gives an isogeny between the Albanese variety of

i l d e F (X)

and the intermediate Jacobian of

X

.
