Abstract

We give an explicit weak solution to the Schottky problem, in the spirit of Riemann and Schottky. For any genus g, we write down a collection of polynomials in genus g theta constants such that their common zero locus contains the locus of Jacobians of genus g curves as an irreducible component. These polynomials arise by applying a specific Schottky-Jung proportionality to an explicit collection of quartic identities for genus g - 1 theta constants.
