Theta divisor

introduction

• It is a well known fact that the Theta divisor on the Jacobian of a non-singular curve is a determinantal variety, i.e. is defined by the zero set of a determinant.
• It is a classical result that the evaluation at the n-torsion points, $n\geq 4$ of Riemann's theta function completely determines the abelian variety embedded in $\mathbb{P}^{n^g-1}$. (See Mumford's Tata lectures 3)
