DESCRIPTION:Title: <a href="https://researchseminars.org/talk/LAGARTOS/1/"
 >Brill--Noether theory of Prym varieties</a>\nby Yoav Len (University of S
 t Andrews) as part of (LAGARTOS) Latin American Real and Tropical Geometry
  Seminar\n\n\nAbstract\nI will discuss combinatorial aspects of Prym varie
 ties\, a class of Abelian varieties that shows up in the presence of doubl
 e covers of curves. Pryms have deep connections with torsion points of Jac
 obians\, bi-tangent lines\, and spin structures. As I will explain\, probl
 ems concerning Pryms may be reduced\, via tropical geometry\, to combinato
 rial games on graphs. Consequently we obtain new results in the geometry o
 f special algebraic curves and bounds on dimensions of certain Brill–Noe
 ther loci.\n
