Constructing a CM Mumford fourfold from Shioda's fourfold
Abstract
Shioda proved that the Jacobian $A_S$ of the curve $y^2 = x^9 -1$ is a 4-dimensional CM abelian variety with codimension 2 Hodge cycles not generated by divisors. It was noted by Shioda that this behavior resembles the abelian varieties constructed by Mumford. We prove that Shioda's fourfold $A_S$ cannot be realized as a special case of Mumford's construction. However, by modifying its Hodge structure, we construct a basis for computing the period matrix of a CM Mumford fourfold with multiplication by $\sqrt{-3}$.
