Tropicalization of theta characteristics, double covers, and Prym varieties
Tóm tắt
We study the behavior of theta characteristics on an algebraic curve under the specialization map to a tropical curve. We show that each effective theta characteristic on the tropical curve is the specialization of
$$2^{g-1}$$
even theta characteristics and
$$2^{g-1}$$
odd theta characteristics. We then study the relationship between unramified double covers of a tropical curve and its theta characteristics, and use this to define the tropical Prym variety.
