Hurwitz spaces of triple coverings of elliptic curves and moduli spaces of Abelian threefolds

摘要

We prove that the moduli spaces A_3(D) of polarized Abelian threefolds with polarizations of types D=(1,1,2),(1,2,2),(1,1,3) or (1,3,3) are unirational. The result is based on the study of families of simple coverings of elliptic curves of degree 2 or 3 and on the study of the corresponding period mappings associated with holomorphic differentials with trace 0. In particular we prove the unirationality of the Hurwitz space H_(3,A)(Y) which parametrizes simply branched triple coverings of an elliptic curve Y with determinants of the Tschirnhausen modules isomorphic to A~(-1).
