The nef cone of toroidal compactifications of ${\cal A}_4$

Abstract

We determine the cone of nef divisors on the Igusa and Voronoi compactifications of the moduli space of principally polarised abelian 4-folds. We also show that the canonical bundle on the Igusa compactification of A_4(n) is ample for n at least 3. Analogous results for A_2 and A_3 were earlier obtained by the first author but the case of A_4 is far less simple.
