An integral characterizing the Andreotti-Mayer locus

 
J. Kramer and R. Salvati Manni

 
 
  The authors give an integral representation characterizing the Andreotti-Mayer locus describing abelian varieties with a singular theta divisor. The given integral representation is provided by constructing an explicit Green's current for a suitable vector bundle on the universal theta divisor.
