It is well known that the Prym variety of an etale cyclic covering of a hyperelliptic curve is isogenous to the product of two Jacobians. Moreover, if the degree of the covering is odd or congruent to 2 mod 4, then the canonical isogeny is an isomorphism. We compute the degree of this isogeny in the remaining cases and show that only in the case of coverings of degree 4 it is an isomorphism.

The Prym map assigns to each covering of curves a polarized abelian variety. In the case of unramified cyclic covers of curves of genus two, we show that the Prym map is ramified precisely on the locus of bielliptic covers. The key observation is that we can naturally associate to such a cover an abelian surface with a cyclic polarization, and then the codifferential of the Prym map can be interpreted in terms of multiplication of sections on the abelian surface. Furthermore, we prove that a genus two cyclic cover of degree at least seven is never hyperelliptic.
Algebraic curves in Hilbert modular surfaces that are totally geodesic for the Kobayashi metric have very interesting geometric and arithmetic properties, e.g. they are rigid. There are very few methods known to construct such algebraic geodesics that we call Kobayashi curves. We give an explicit way of constructing Kobayashi curves using determinants of derivatives of theta functions. This construction also allows to calculate the Euler characteristics of the Teichmueller curves constructed by McMullen using Prym covers.
We prove an analogue of Kirchhoffs matrix tree theorem for computing the volume of the tropical Prym variety for double covers of metric graphs. We interpret the formula in terms of a semi-canonical decomposition of the tropical Prym variety, via a careful study of the tropical Abel-Prym map. In particular, we show that the map is harmonic, determine its degree at every cell of the decomposition, and prove that its global degree is $2^{g-1}$. Along the way, we use the Ihara zeta function to provide a new proof of the analogous result for finite graphs. As a counterpart, the appendix by Sebastian Casalaina-Martin shows that the degree of the algebraic Abel-Prym map is $2^{g-1}$ as well.
We study the Prym varieties arising from etale cyclic coverings of degree 7 over a curve of genus 2. These Prym varieties are products of Jacobians JY x JY of genus 3 curves Y with polarization type D=(1,1,1,1,1,7). We describe the fibers of the Prym map between the moduli space of such coverings and the moduli space of abelian sixfolds with polarization type D, admitting an automorphism of order 7.
A fine moduli space is constructed, for cyclic-by-$mathsf{p}$ covers of an affine curve over an algebraically closed field $k$ of characteristic $mathsf{p}>0$. An intersection of finitely many fine moduli spaces for cyclic-by-$mathsf{p}$ covers of affine curves gives a moduli space for $mathsf{p}$-by-$mathsf{p}$ covers of an affine curve. A local moduli space is also constructed, for cyclic-by-$mathsf{p}$ covers of $Spec(k((x)))$, which is the same as the global moduli space for cyclic-by-$mathsf{p}$ covers of $mathbb{P}^1-{0}$ tamely ramified over $infty$ with the same Galois group. Then it is shown that a restriction morphism is finite with degrees on connected components $mathsf{p}$ powers: There are finitely many deleted points of an affine curve from its smooth completion. A cyclic-by-$mathsf{p}$ cover of an affine curve gives a product of local covers with the same Galois group of the punctured infinitesimal neighbourhoods of the deleted points. So there is a restriction morphism from the global moduli space to a product of local moduli spaces.
