If you have a question about this talk, please contact John Ottem.

In the first part of the talk, I will introduce the classical theory of Jacobians. In particular, I will stress the relations between the singularities of the Theta divisor and the projective geometry of the curve. In the second part, I will focus on the Schottky problem and on modular forms. I will discuss modular forms arising from lattices: these might provide upper bound on the slope of the moduli space of curves.
