On Jacobi Inversion Formulae for Telescopic Curves

Abstract

For a hyperelliptic curve of genus $g$, it is well known that the symmetric products of $g$ points on the curve are expressed in terms of their Abel-Jacobi image by the hyperelliptic sigma function (Jacobi inversion formulae). Matsutani and Previato gave a natural generalization of the formulae to the more general algebraic curves defined by $y^r=f(x)$, which are special cases of $(n,s)$ curves, and derived new vanishing properties of the sigma function of the curves $y^r=f(x)$. In this paper we extend the formulae to the telescopic curves proposed by Miura and derive new vanishing properties of the sigma function of telescopic curves. The telescopic curves contain the $(n,s)$ curves as special cases.
