Locally symmetric families of curves and jacobians
Abstract
Description
This paper addresses the following question of Oort: "Are there any postive dimensional locally symmetric subvarieties of the moduli space of abelian varieties that are contained in the jacobian locus and contain the jacobian of at least one smooth curve? Some partial results are given.
