Abstract
In this paper, we will give a general but completely elementary description for hyperelliptic curves of genus three whose Jacobian varieties have endomorphisms by the real cyclotomic field ℚ(ζ7 + ζ̄7). We study the algebraic correspondences on these curves which are lifts of algebraic correspondences on a conic in P2 associated with Poncelet 7-gons. These correspondences induce endomorphisms φ on the Jacobians which satisfy φ3+φ2-2φ-1=0. Moreover, we study Humbert's modular equations which characterize the curves of genus three having these real multiplications. © 2012 Springer-Verlag.
