Abstract:

We give an explicit embedding of the Jacobian of a hyperelliptic curve, $y^2 = f(x)$, into projective space such that the image is isomorphic to the Jacobian over the splitting field of $f$. The embedding is a modification of the usual embedding by theta functions with half integer characteristics.
