Göpel Varieties

Abstract: We show that the Coble hypersurfaces, uniquely characterized by the remarkable property that their singular loci are an abelian surface and a Kummer threefold, respectively, belong to a family of hypersurfaces exhibiting similar behavior, but defined in various types of homogeneous spaces. With the help of Jordan-Vinberg theory, we show how these hypersurfaces can be parametrized by G{\"o}pel type varieties inside projectivized representations of complex reflection groups.
