The Moduli Space of smooth Ample Hypersurfaces in Abelian Varieties

Abstract

We give a characterizaton of smooth ample Hypersurfaces in Abelian Varieties and also describe an irreducible connected component of their moduli space: it consists of the Hypersurfaces of a given polarization type, plus the iterated univariate coverings of normal type (of the same polarization type). The above manifolds yield also a connected component of the open set of Teichm\"uller space consisting of K\"ahler complex structures.
