- Source: Coble hypersurface
In algebraic geometry, a Coble hypersurface is one of the hypersurfaces associated to the Jacobian variety of a curve
of genus 2 or 3 by Arthur Coble.
There are two similar but different types of Coble hypersurfaces.
The Kummer variety of the Jacobian of a genus 3 curve can be embedded in 7-dimensional projective space under the 2-theta map, and is then the singular locus of a 6-dimensional quartic hypersurface (Coble 1982), called a Coble hypersurface.
Similarly the Jacobian of a genus 2 curve can be embedded in 8-dimensional projective space under the 3-theta map, and is then the singular locus of a 7-dimensional cubic hypersurface (Coble 1917), also called a Coble hypersurface.
