Abelian Varieties with Quaternion Multiplication

Publication date 23 July 2005

Jacobians, Prym varieties (14H40) Coverings of curves, fundamental group (14H30) (3)-folds (14J30) Configurations and arrangements of linear subspaces (14N20) Picard schemes, higher Jacobians (14K30) Automorphisms of curves (14H37)

Abstract: In this article we use a Prym construction to study low dimensional abelian varieties with an action of the quaternion group. In special cases we describe the Shimura variety parameterizing such abelian varieties, as well as a map to this Shimura variety from a natural parameter space of quaternionic abelian varieties. Our description is based on the moduli of cubic threefolds with nine nodes, which we study in some detail.
