Abstract

In this paper, we investigate the construction of two moduli stacks of Kummer varieties. The first one is the stack gabs of abstract Kummer varieties and the second one is the stack gem of embedded Kummer varieties. We will prove that gabs is a Deligne-Mumford stack and its coarse moduli space is isomorphic to Ag, the coarse moduli space of principally polarized abelian varieties of dimension g. On the other hand, we give a modular family g → U of embedded Kummer varieties embedded in 2g-1 × 2g-1, meaning that every geometric fiber of this family is an embedded Kummer variety and every isomorphic class of such varieties appears at least once as the class of a fiber. As a consequence, we construct the coarse moduli space K2em of embedded Kummer surfaces and prove that it is obtained from A2 by contracting the locus swept by a particular linear equivalence class of curves. We conjecture that this is a general fact: Kgem could be obtained from Ag via a contraction for all g > 1.

N2 - In this paper, we investigate the construction of two moduli stacks of Kummer varieties. The first one is the stack gabs of abstract Kummer varieties and the second one is the stack gem of embedded Kummer varieties. We will prove that gabs is a Deligne-Mumford stack and its coarse moduli space is isomorphic to Ag, the coarse moduli space of principally polarized abelian varieties of dimension g. On the other hand, we give a modular family g → U of embedded Kummer varieties embedded in 2g-1 × 2g-1, meaning that every geometric fiber of this family is an embedded Kummer variety and every isomorphic class of such varieties appears at least once as the class of a fiber. As a consequence, we construct the coarse moduli space K2em of embedded Kummer surfaces and prove that it is obtained from A2 by contracting the locus swept by a particular linear equivalence class of curves. We conjecture that this is a general fact: Kgem could be obtained from Ag via a contraction for all g > 1.
