Nonexistence of certain closed complex geodesics in the moduli space of curves

Domingo Toledo

Vol. 129 (1987), No. 1, 187–192
Abstract

We prove that most compact totally geodesic curves in the Siegel moduli space Ag of g-dimensional principally polarized abelian varieties cannot lie in the image of the period mapping of the moduli space Mg of smooth curves of genus g. The meaning of “most” is in terms of the holomorphic sectional curvature of Siegel space—see the precise statement below.
