| Description: | Title: What are abelian varieties of dimension six? Abstract: It is classically known that the general principally polarized abelian variety of dimension at most five is a Prym variety. This reduces the study of abelian varieties of small dimension to the beautifully concrete and rich theory of algebraic curves. I will discuss decisive recent progress on finding a structure theorem for principally polarized abelian varieties of dimension six, and the implications this uniformization result has on the geometry of their moduli space. |
