C.G.MADONNA
Abstract. We give several examples of the existence of infinitely many divisorial conditions on the moduli space of polarized K3 surfaces (S, H) of degree
H 2 = 2g − 2, g ≥ 3, and Picard number ρ(S) = rkN (S) = 2, such that for a
general K3 surface S satisfying these conditions the moduli space of sheaves
MS (r, H, s) is birationally equivalent to the Hilbert scheme S[g − rs] of zerodimensional subschemes of S of length equal to g − rs. This result generalizes
the main result of [8] when g = rs + 1 and of [2] when r = s = 2, g ≥ 5.
1. Introduction to the main result
g
Let S ⊂ P be a smooth projective K3 surface of genus g ≥ 3 and H be a general
e
hyperplane section of S, H 2 = 2g − 2. Let us denote by H(S,
Z) the Mukai lattice
e
of S and let v = (v0 , v1 , v2 ) ∈ H(S, Z) be an algebraic primitive Mukai vector (i.e.
e
Zv is a primitive sublattice of H(S,
Z) and v1 ∈ N (S) – the Picard lattice of S).
We briefly remind that the Mukai lattice of S is the full cohomology group
(1.1)
e
H(S,
Z) := H 0 (S, Z) ⊕ H 2 (S, Z) ⊕ H 4 (S, Z)
endowed by the Mukai pairing
(1.2)
(v, w) = v1 · w1 − (v0 w2 + v2 w0 ) ∈ Z
e
where v = (v0 , v1 , v2 ), w = (w0 , w1 , w2 ) ∈ H(S,
Z), H 0 (S, Z) and H 4 (S, Z) are
naturally identified with Z, and the transcendental lattice of S is defined by T (S) =
N (S)⊥ ⊂ H 2 (S, Z) i.e. it is the orthogonal to the Picard lattice N (S) with respect
to the intersection product of H 2 (S, Z).
We extensively studied the problem to find conditions on S such that the moduli
space MS (v) of H-stable sheaves over S with Mukai vector v is isomorphic to
the K3 surface S when v is isotropic, i.e. (v, v) := v 2 = 0, and primitive. The
interested reader can refer to [4] and the references given there for more details. In
[2] we started to consider the case of primitive and not necessarily isotropic Mukai
vectors. Indeed, by the work of Yoshioka and Mukai (see [12], [5]) the moduli space
MS (v) is an irreducible symplectic variety of dimension equal to v 2 + 2 which is
equivalent under deformations to the Hilbert scheme S[v 2 /2+1] of zero-dimensional
subschemes Z of S of length l(Z) = v 2 /2 + 1. The question we want to answer here
is the following:

Question 1.1. Let v ∈ H(S,
Z) be an algebraic and primitive Mukai vector and let
M := MS (v) be the moduli space of H-stable sheaves over S with Mukai vector v.
Let M ′ := S[v 2 /2 + 1] be the Hilbert scheme of zero-dimensional subschemes of S
of length v 2 /2 + 1. When is M birational to M ′ ?
In this paper we will refer to a birational map between M and M ′ as a ”birational
isomorphism” or just ”isomorphism” for short. We are mainly interested here to
the case when v 2 > 0. When v 2 = 0, a complete answer was given in [4] and [8]
[9] for a general K3 surface S of Picard number ρ(S) := rk N (S) ≤ 2 (i.e. with
Aut(T (S), H 2,0 (S)) = ±1).
For any g ≥ 5 we already considered the previous question in [2] for the case of
Mukai vector (2, H, 2). We found, there, infinitely many divisorial conditions on
the moduli space of polarized K3 surfaces of degree H 2 = 2g − 2 for which one has
a birational isomorphism M ∼
= M ′ . Here we partially answer the previous question
when the Mukai vector is
(1.3)
v = (r, H, s)
2
with r, s ∈ Z, r, s ≥ 1, H = 2g − 2, ρ(S) = 2, and γ(H) = 1, where γ(H) ∈ N is
defined by H · N (S) ∼
= γ(H)Z.
In this case we have that (v, v) = 2g − 2 − 2rs = 2(g − 1 − rs) and the moduli
space of H-stable sheaves E with Mukai vector v(E) = v = (r, H, s)
(1.4)
M = MS (v)
has dimension equal to 2(g − rs). The corresponding Hilbert scheme is given by
(1.5)
M ′ = S[g − rs].
We remind two beautiful examples given by Mukai in which for general S (say
N (S) ∼
= Z[H]) one cannot hope to get any isomorphism between M and M ′ . The
first one corresponds to the case g = 5, r = s = 2. In this case v is isotropic and
the surface S = M ′ is an octic K3 complete intersection of three quadrics in P5
while M is a K3 double plane, i.e. a ramified sextic double plane, isomorphic to
the double covering of the net of quadrics whose base locus defines S ramified over
the locus of singular quadrics of the net (see [3] for more details on this case). Of
course in general M ′ = S ∼
6 M = MS (2, H, 2) since det N (M ) = 2 6= det N (S) = 8.
=
The second example, also related to the geometry of quadrics, is a 4-dimensional
analogue to the above one, corresponding to the case g = 6, r = s = 2. The
interested reader can refer to [6] for more details.
In this short note we give several examples of infinitely many divisorial conditions
on the moduli space of polarized K3 surfaces (S, H) of degree H 2 = 2g −2 for which
one gets a birational isomorphism between M and M ′ . The main tool will be in
considering the following isometries of the Mukai lattice of S:
e
e
– the tensorization for a line bundle D ∈ N (S), say, TD : H(S)
→ H(S),
defined
by
(1.6)
TD (r, c1 , s) = (r, c1 + rD, s + r(D2 /2) + D · c1 )
and
e
e
– the reflection δ : H(S,
Z) → H(S,
Z) defined by
(1.7)
δ(r, c1 , s) = (s, c1 , r).

Indeed when c1 = H if w := TD (r, H, s) then one gets an isomorphism MS (r, H, s) ∼
=
MS (w). One has also an isomorphism MS (r, H, s) ∼
= MS (s, H, r).
Further we will mainly need to distinguish two cases. For this we introduce the
following general definition.
e
Definition 1.1. Let v = (r, H, s) ∈ H(S,
Z). We say that v is of type + if there
exists a divisor D ∈ N (S) such that v + := TD (v) = (r, H + rD, 1). We say
that v is of type − if there exists a divisor D ∈ N (S) such that v − := TD (v) =
(r, H + rD, −1).
Since MS (v) ∼
= MS (v ± ), in order to answer our main question we will answer to
the following:
Question 1.2. Under which conditions on the Picard lattice N (S) of the polarized
K3 surface S of degree H 2 = 2g − 2 the Mukai vector v = (r, H, s) is of type ± and
MS (v ± ) ∼
= S[g − rs]?
If v is of type + then applying the reflection δ, we get that
∼ MS (r, H + rD, 1) = MS (v + ) ∼
(1.8) MS (v) =
= MS (1, H + rD, r) ∼
= S[g − rs].
Hence, in this case we are done if we are able to find the divisor D as above such
that TD (r, H, s) = (r, H + rD, 1). To find the divisor D we consider a primitive
element G ∈ N (S) orthogonal to H such that N (S) is generated up to its index by
H and G (see Proposition 2.1). Then, when v is of type − we construct explicitly
the required birational isomorphism MS (v − ) ∼
= S[g − rs].
Our first result is the following:
Proposition 1.1. Let S be a polarized K3 surface of degree H 2 = 2g − 2, general
with ρ(S) = 2, γ(H) = 1, det N (S) = −d, d ≡ µ2 mod 4(g − 1), µ mod 2g − 2 ∈
(Z/(2g − 2))∗ . Let v = (r, H, s). Assume that d is not a square i.e. the Picard
lattice N (S) does not represent zero. Then, if d ∈ D± where
(1.9)
(rx + 2(g − 1))2 − 4(g − 1)(±r − rs + g − 1)
,
r2 y 2
x, y ∈ Z , x ≡ µy mod 2g − 2}
D± = {d ∈ N : d =
the Mukai vector v is of type v ± . Indeed we have that v ± = (r, F, ±1) where
(1.10)
F := H + rD
with F · H ≡ rµy mod 2g − 2 and D = (xH + yG)/(2g − 2) ∈ N (S), where (x, y) is
an integral solution of the equation (rx+2(g −1))2 −dr2 y 2 = 4(g −1)(±r−rs+g −1)
with x ≡ µy mod 2g − 2. Moreover one can choose the above divisor D ∈ N (S)
such that x ≪ 0.
Using the above result we then derive the main result of the paper:
Theorem 1.1. Let S be a general K3 surface of degree H 2 = 2g − 2 with Picard
group N (S) := N and Picard number ρ(S) = 2, γ(H) = 1, det N = −d, d ≡ µ2
mod 4(g − 1) and µ mod 2g − 2 ∈ (Z/(2g − 2))∗ . If d ∈ D± is not a square, then:
(1) there exists a divisor D = (xH+yG)/(2g−2) ∈ N as in previous proposition
such that the divisor F = H + rD ∈ N (S) satisfies
(1.11)
F 2 = (2g − 2) + r(±2 − 2s)
4
C.G.MADONNA
and D ·H ≪ 0, F ·H ≡ rµy mod 2g −2, where (x, y) is an integral solution
of the equation (rx + 2(g − 1))2 − dr2 y 2 = 4(g − 1)(±r − rs + g − 1) with
x ≡ µy mod 2g − 2;
(2) there exists a birational isomorphism MS (r, H, s) ∼
= S[g − rs].
From the proof of the theorem it follows the above birational isomorphism is
obtained by the composition of the isomorphism
ϕ(D)± : MS (r, H, s) → MS (r, H + rD, ±1)
induced by the tensorization for the line bundle D as in (1) and:
(a) when d ∈ D+ , the isomorphism δ : MS (r, H+rD, 1) → MS (1, H+rD, r) induced
by the reflection δ (see (1.7)), and the isomorphism ϕ+ : MS (1, H + rD, r) →
S[g − rs] inverse of the isomorphism ϕ−1
+ : S[g − rs] → MS (1, H + rD, r) defined
∼
by ϕ−1
+ (Z) = IZ (F );
(b) when d ∈ D− , with a birational isomorphism ϕ− : MS (r, H +rD, −1) ∼
= S[g−rs]
inverse of a birational isomorphism (ϕ− )−1 : S[g − rs] ∼

is explicitly given in the proof of Theorem 1.1.
It is important to notice that under the conditions of the previous theorem,
one can apply the reflection δ to get a birational isomorphism MS (r, H, s) ∼
=
e±
MS (s, H, r). Then, arguing in similar way, one can show the following: if d ∈ D
is not a square, where

D
s2 y 2
(1.12)
x, y ∈ Z , x ≡ µy mod 2g − 2}
then MS (r, H, s) ∼
= S[g − rs]. In particular for all such d there exists a divisor
e = (xH + yG)/(2g − 2) ∈ N (S) such that the divisor
D
(1.13)
satisfies

Fe = H + sD
Fe2 = (2g − 2) + s(±2 − 2r).
e · H ≪ 0, Fe · H ≡ sµy mod 2g − 2, where (x, y) is an integral solution of
and D
the equation (sx + 2(g − 1))2 − ds2 y 2 = 4(g − 1)(±s − rs + g − 1) with x ≡ µy
mod 2g − 2. We leave to the reader to write a statement similar to the one of our
main theorem in this case.
e± .
We remark if r = s then D± = D
2
Remember also when H = 2g − 2 = 2rs, i.e. the Mukai vector v = (r, H, s)
is isotropic and the moduli space MS (v) is a K3 surface, we have that the corresponding divisor F satisfies the conditions
(1.15)
F 2 = ±2r , F · H ≡ 0 mod r
and the divisor Fe satisfies the conditions
(1.16)
Fe 2 = ±2s , Fe · H ≡ 0
mod s.
In this case in [8] it was proved that these two conditions (1.15) and (1.16) are not
only sufficient but also necessary to have the isomorphism S ∼
= MS (v) when S is
general with ρ(S) ≤ 2.
Our main result also gives the following interesting:

infinite.
Note that if g − 1 = rs, i.e. v = (r, H, s) is isotropic, it then follows that D and
e are infinite. This is also the case when g ≥ 5 and v = (2, H, 2) (see [2]).

It is interesting to rewrite our previous result in term of Beauville-Bogomolov
quadratic form q (and bilinear form b) on H 2 (S[g − rs], Z) (see e.g. [1] for details).
Remember that H 2 (S[g − rs], Z) ∼
= H 2 (S, Z) ⊕⊥ Zf , with f 2 = −2(g − rs − 1).
The corollary below shows how our main result here can be considered as a natural
generalization to non isotropic Mukai vectors of the result given in [8] for the case
of isotropic Mukai vectors.

2. A proof of the main result
In previous section we stated our main result. We also made several remarks,
derived some corollaries, and made some questions we hope to answer in further
works. It remains now to give a proof of Theorem 1.1. In this section we will do
this. We will now give the proof of Proposition 1.1 which will be needed for the
proof of Theorem 1.1.
At first, to fix notations and terminology, we will recall some basic facts on
lattices (see [7] for more details) we will need in the sequel. A lattice L is a nondegenerate integral symmetric bilinear form. I. e. L is a free Z-module equipped
with a symmetric pairing x · y ∈ Z for x, y ∈ L, and this pairing should be nondegenerate. We denote x2 = x · x. The determinant of L is defined to be det L =
det(ei · ej ) where {ei } is some basis of L. We will use notation [x1 , ..., xn ] to mean
the lattice generated by the elements x1 , ..., xn .
An isometry of lattices is an isomorphism of modules which preserves the product.

Let S be a polarized K3 surface of degree H 2 = 2g − 2. For the rest of the paper
we will assume that the following conditions on the Picard lattice N (S) of S are
satisfied:
γ(H) = 1
ρ(S) = 2
(2.1)
µ mod 2g − 2 ∈ (Z/(2g − 2))∗
e
Zv ⊂ H(S,
Z) is primitive
We also need the following (see [8] for a proof):
Proposition 2.1. Let S be a K3 surface with a polarization H of degree H 2 =
2g − 2. Assume that conditions (2.1) hold. Then the lattice N (S) is defined by its
determinant det N (S) = −d, where d ∈ N, and µ2 ≡ d mod 4(g − 1). There exists
a unique choice of a primitive vector G orthogonal to H such that
N (S) = [H, G, (µH + G)/(2g − 2)]
where G2 = −(2g − 2)d, and µ mod 2g − 2 ∈ (Z/(2g − 2))∗ . It follows that
N (S) = {(xH + yG)/(2g − 2) : x, y ∈ Z, x ≡ µy
mod 2g − 2}.
We can now derive the following:
Proposition 2.2. Let S be a K3 surface with a polarization H of degree H 2 =
2g − 2. Suppose that conditions (2.1) hold. Let d ∈ D± , where
(rx + 2(g − 1))2 − 4(g − 1)(−r − rs + g − 1)
,
r2 y 2
x, y ∈ Z, x ≡ µy mod 2g − 2}
D− = {d ∈ N : d =
(rx + 2(g − 1))2 − 4(g − 1)(r − rs + g − 1)
,
r2 y 2
x, y ∈ Z, x ≡ µy mod 2g − 2}.
Moreover suppose that d is not a square. Then there exists a divisor D = (xH +
yG)/(2g − 2) ∈ N (S) such that TD (r, H, s) = (r, H + rD, ±1) and D · H ≪ 0,
where (x, y) is an integral solution of the equation (rx + 2(g − 1))2 − dr2 y 2 =
4(g − 1)(±r − rs + g − 1) with x ≡ µy mod 2g − 2. For all such d the divisor D
as above is then given by D = (xH + yG)/(2g − 2) and we have that F := H + rD
satisfies
F 2 = (2g − 2) + r(±2 − 2s)
with F · H ≡ rµy mod 2g − 2.
D+ = {d ∈ N : d =
Proof. By the previous proposition we can write a divisor D ∈ N (S) in the following
form
xH + yG
D=
2g − 2
with x, y ∈ Z and x ≡ µy mod 2g − 2. Then TD (r, H, s) = (r, H + rD, ±1) if and
only if (x, y) is an integral solution of the Pell–type equation
(2.2)
(rx + 2(g − 1))2 − d(ry)2 = 4(g − 1)(±r − rs + g − 1)
In particular if we denote H + rD by F we have that F 2 = (2g − 2) + r(±2 − 2s)
and F · H ≡ rµy mod 2g − 2. Finally, since the solutions of the above equation
are not bounded when d is not a square, then we may assume that D · H ≪ 0.

We can now give a proof of our main result
Theorem 2.1. Let S be a general K3 surface of degree H 2 = 2g − 2 with Picard
group N (S) := N and Picard number ρ(S) = 2, γ(H) = 1, det N = −d, d ≡ µ2
mod 4(g − 1) and µ mod 2g − 2 ∈ (Z/(2g − 2))∗ . If d ∈ D± is not a square, then:
(1) there exists a divisor D = (xH+yG)/(2g−2) ∈ N as in previous proposition
such that the divisor F = H + rD ∈ N (S) satisfies
(2.3)
F 2 = (2g − 2) + r(±2 − 2s)
and D ·H ≪ 0, F ·H ≡ rµy mod 2g −2, where (x, y) is an integral solution
of the equation (rx + 2(g − 1))2 − dr2 y 2 = 4(g − 1)(±r − rs + g − 1) with
x ≡ µy mod 2g − 2.;
(2) there exists a birational isomorphism MS (r, H, s) ∼
= S[g − rs].
Proof. We already noticed that if d ∈ D+ then the result follows soon. Indeed
in this case the birational isomorphism M ′ ∼
= M is obtained as the composition
ϕ+ ◦ δ ◦ ϕ(D)+ of the isomorphism
(2.4)
ϕ(D)+ : MS (r, H, s) ∼
= MS (r, H + rD, 1)
given by the tensorization for the line bundles D ∈ N = N (S) of previous proposition, the isomorphism
(2.5)
δ : MS (r, H + rD, 1) ∼
= MS (1, H + rD, r)
induced by the reflection (1.7), and the isomorphism
(2.6)
ϕ+ : MS (1, H + rD, r) ∼
= S[g − rs].
which is the inverse of the isomorphism ϕ−1
+ : S[g − rs] → MS (1, H + rD, r) defined
(Z)
=
I
(H

rD).
Therefore
we
assume that d ∈ D− . Let v = (r, H, s)

Z
+
be of type − and hence let v − = (r, F, −1) where F = H + rD with D ∈ N (S) as
in the previous proposition, in particular such that D · H ≪ 0. We will give here
explicitly the map (ϕ− )−1 : S[g − rs] → MS (v − ). Then we will get the required
birational isomorphism as composition of the isomorphism
(2.7)
ϕ(D)− : MS (r, H, s) ∼
= MS (r, H + rD, −1)
given by the tensorization for the line bundles D ∈ N (S) as in previous proposition
and the birational isomorphism
∼ S[g − rs].
(2.8)
ϕ− : MS (r, H + rD, −1) =
Let Z ∈ S[g − rs] be a general subscheme of S of length l(Z) = g − rs. Then
h1 IZ (F ) = r − 1. Indeed we have the short exact sequence defining Z ⊂ S
0 → IZ (F ) → OS (F ) → OZ (F ) → 0
and the corresponding exact sequence in cohomology. It then follows by standard
calculations that h1 IZ (F ) ≥ r − 1. Following the construction of [11] we then have
the exact sequence
0 → H 1 IZ (F ) ⊗ OS → E = EZ → IZ (H + rD) → 0
where E has rk(E) = h1 IZ (F ) + 1, c1 (E) = F := H + rD and χ(E) = r − 1,
h1 E = 0. Hence the Mukai vector of E is v(E) = (r, F, −1). We define here
(ϕ− )−1 (Z) = EZ = E. It remains to show that E is H-stable. We will show that
8
C.G.MADONNA
E(−D) is H-stable. Remember that F = H + rD for a suitable D ∈ N (S) such
that D · H ≪ 0. We then tensorize the above exact sequence by OS (−D) to get
0 → Or−1
S (−D) → E(−D) → IZ (H + (r − 1)D) → 0
Now let us assume that E(−D) is unstable. Then consider the maximal destabilizing
subsheaf of E(−D), say M. We have:
µ(M) =
(c1 (M) · H)
2g − 2
> µ(E(−D)) =
> 0.
rk(M)
r
Let i be the inclusion map of M in E(−D) and let β : E(−D) → IZ (H +(r−1)D) be
the map given in the above exact sequence. Then the image of M in IZ (H+(r−1)D)
by the composite map β ◦ i is a subsheaf of rank 1 which is of type IW (H + (r − 1)D)
for some zero-dimensional subscheme W containing Z. Then we have an exact
sequence
0 → M′ → M → IW (H + (r − 1)D) → 0
and c1 (M′ ) = c1 (M) − (H + (r − 1)D). We then have
c1 (M) · H − (H + (r − 1)D) · H

µ(M′ ) =
(2.9)
since c1 (M) · H > 0, D · H ≪ 0, rk(M′ ) = rk(M) − 1. Hence µ(M′ ) > µ(M).
This is impossible since we assumed M to be maximal destabilizing.
From the proof of previous theorem we have the following more general statement:
Theorem 2.2. Let S be a K3 surface of degree H 2 = 2g − 2 and suppose that N (S)
contains a rank 2 primitive sublattice N ⊂ N (S) with H ∈ N . Assume that (S, N )
satisfies the conditions of Theorem 1.1. With same notations of Theorem 1.1 for
µ, d, γ, D± , if d ∈ D± is not a square, then:
(1) there exists a divisor D = (xH + yG)/(2g − 2) ∈ N such that the divisor
F = H + rD satisfies
(2.10)
F 2 = (2g − 2) + r(±2 − 2s)
and D ·H ≪ 0, F ·H ≡ rµy mod 2g −2, where (x, y) is an integral solution
of the equation (rx + 2(g − 1))2 − dr2 y 2 = 4(g − 1)(±r − rs + g − 1) with
x ≡ µy mod 2g − 2;
(2) there exists a birational isomorphism MS (r, H, s) ∼
= S[g − rs].
Remark 2.1. When v 2 = 0 Nikulin gave in [9] examples of K3 surfaces S with
Picard group N (S) of rank ρ(S) = 3 such that MS (v) ∼
= S while N (S) does not
contain any rank 2 primitive sublattice N as in previous theorem. In other words,
examples when ρ = 3 in which one has an isomorphism which is not a specialization
of an isomorphism between K3 surfaces of Picard number 2. These examples have
all γ(H) 6= 1. We do not know if one can find similar examples when γ(H) = 1
(with isotropic or non isotropic Mukai vectors as well).

3. Examples
Let us consider the cases in which v 2 = 0 i.e. g = 5 and v = (2, H, 2). Our main
result in this case reads as follows:
Theorem 3.1. Let S be a general K3 surface of degree H 2 = 8 with Picard group
N (S) := N and Picard number ρ(S) = 2, γ(H) = 1, det N = −d, d ≡ µ2 mod 16
and µ mod 8 ∈ (Z/8)∗ , i.e. µ = 1 if d ≡ 1 mod 16 and µ = 3 if d ≡ 9 mod 16
(see Section 3.1 of [3]). If d ∈ D± is not a square, then:
(1) there exists a divisor D = (xH + yG)/8 ∈ N such that the divisor F =
H + 2D satisfies
F 2 = ±4
(3.1)
and D · H ≪ 0, F · H ≡ 2µy mod 8, where (x, y) is an integral solution of
the equation (x + 4)2 − dy 2 = ±8 with x ≡ µy mod 8;
(2) there exists a birational isomorphism MS (2, H, 2) ∼
= S.
In this cases the the families D and D̃ coincide, moreover by Corollary 1.1 D is
infinite. The two families D+ and D− are given by
D± = {d ∈ N : d =
(x + 4)2 ∓ 8
, x, y ∈ Z, x ≡ µy
y2
mod 8}
After changing x + 4 = a and y = b then we get the following equations
a2 − db2 = ±8
with a − 4 ≡ ±b mod 8 if d ≡ 1 mod 16 and a − 4 ≡ ±3b mod 8 if d ≡ 9 mod 16.
When b = 1 we then get the conditions a ≡ ±3 mod 8 if d ≡ 1 mod 16 and a ≡ ±
mod 8 if d ≡ 9 mod 16.
We derive the following possible values for d
17, 33, 41, 57, 89, 73, 113, 129, 161, 177, ...
which is an infinite subfamily we already found in [3].
When v = (2, H, 2) and H 2 ≥ 10 then v 2 > 0 is not anymore isotropic. In this
case from our main result we derive the following theorem already showed in [2]
Theorem 3.2. Let S be a general K3 surface of degree H 2 = 2g − 2 ≥ 10 with
Picard group N (S) := N and Picard number ρ(S) = 2, γ(H) = 1, det N = −d,
d ≡ µ2 mod 4(g − 1) and µ mod 2g − 2 ∈ (Z/(2g − 2))∗ . If d ∈ D± is not a square,
then:
(1) there exists a divisor D = (xH + yG)/(2g − 2) ∈ N such that the divisor
F = H + 2D satisfies
F 2 = 2(g − 7)
(3.2)
or
(3.3)
F 2 = 2(g − 3)
and D ·H ≪ 0, F ·H ≡ 2µy mod 2g −2, where (x, y) is an integral solution
of the equation (x + g − 1)2 − dy 2 = (g − 1)(g − 5 ± 2);
(2) there exists a birational isomorphism MS (2, H, 2) ∼
= S[g − 4].
