A remark on the decomposition of the Jacobian variety of Fermat curves of prime degree

Abstract

Recently, Barraza-Rojas have described the action of the full automorphisms group on the Fermat curve of degree $p$, for $p$ a prime integer, and obtained the group algebra decomposition of the corresponding Jacobian variety. In this short note we observe that the factors in such a decomposition are given by the Jacobian varieties of certain $p$-gonal curves.
